NEON Canopy Height Model (CHM)
Height of the top of canopy above bare earth (Canopy Height Model; CHM). The CHM is derived from the NEON LiDAR point cloud and is generated by creating a continuous surface of canopy height estimates across the entire spatial domain of the LiDAR survey. The … airborne canopy forest forest-biomass lidar neon -
NEON Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
Digital models of the surface (DSM) and terrain (DTM) derived from NEON LiDAR data. DSM: Surface features (topographic information with vegetation and man-made structures present). DTM: Bare earth elevation (topographic information with vegetation and man-made structures removed). Images are given in meters above mean sea … airborne dem elevation-topography forest lidar neon -
NEON RGB Camera Imagery
High resolution Red-Green-Blue (RGB) orthorectified camera images mosaicked and output onto a fixed, uniform spatial grid using nearest-neighbor resampling; spatial resolution is 0.1 m. The digital camera is part of a suite of instruments on the NEON Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) that also includes a … airborne forest highres neon neon-prod-earthengine orthophoto -
NEON Surface Bidirectional Reflectance
The NEON AOP Surface Bidirectional Reflectance is a hyperspectral VSWIR (visible to shortwave infrared) data product, containing 426 bands spanning wavelengths from ~380 nm to 2510 nm. Reflectance is scaled by a factor of 10000. Wavelengths between 1340-1445 nm and 1790-1955 nm are set to … airborne forest hyperspectral neon neon-prod-earthengine publisher-dataset -
