Session ID#: 15795

Session Description:
In 2015/16, advanced airborne imaging spectrometers operated by NASA and other agencies pursued science campaigns spanning new and diverse environments worldwide. Regions included Greenland, India, the Southern Ocean, the South Pacific, United States, Europe and elsewhere. This session will present salient new results from these diverse investigations.  It will highlight algorithmic advances, challenges and opportunities related to regional diversity, preparing for new capabilities from orbital imaging spectrometers such as EnMAP and future missions with full global coverage.  Submissions will demonstrate new measurements for land, ocean, cryosphere, and atmosphere science. Examples include: terrestrial ecosystem function, health, and biodiversity; ocean, coastal, benthic and inland water properties; urban land cover condition; snow and ice climate and water resource factors; measurement of the atmosphere including local methane sources; and surface geology related to resources, soils, and hazards. We will also examine calibration, algorithms, and field methodology ensuring continued consistency in global Earth system science.
