MASTER: Western Diversity Time Series Campaign, WDTS, California, USA, Fall 2020

The spectral data were collected as part of the Western Diversity Time Series (WDTS, formerly HyspIRI) program during nine flights aboard a NASA ER-2 aircraft over selected areas of California, U.S, from 2020-09-17 to 2020-10-15. The WDTS program will observe California's ecosystems and provide critical information on natural disasters such as volcanoes, wildfires, and drought.

MASTER products can identify vegetation type and health and provide a benchmark for the state of the ecosystems against which future changes can be assessed. Data products include L1B georeferenced multispectral imagery of calibrated radiance in 50 bands covering wavelengths of 0.460 to 12.879 micrometers at approximately 50-meter resolution. Derived L2 data products are emissivity in 5 bands in thermal infrared range (8.58 to 12.13 micrometers) and land surface temperature.
