Abstract:
The Carbon Cycle & Ecosystems Office at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is assembling a collection of metadata that describes the data sets being collected to support the DESDynI satellite mission. Investigators from Federal and university laboratories will conduct a field campaign with intent to make estimates of forest biophysical attributes that will prove useful in comparisons with airborne lidar (LVIS) and UAVSAR remote sensing acquisitions. Forest types span a range of biomass and morphologies that are representative of North American forests. Field data collected will become available to interested scientists sometime in 2010.
