Multiple View Angle Campaign - mast

Examples of using a tilting mast (simple field goniometer) to acquire bidirectional reflectance factors at the USDA, ARS Jornada Experimental Range and in Inner Mongolia desert grasslands.

USDA, ARS Jornada Experimental Range: using a tilting mast to acquire bidirectional reflectance factors at the Jornada JORNEX/IBP grass site over a reference tarp (JORNEX 9/28/00):

Using a tilting mast to acquire bidirectional reflectance factors at the Jornada JORNEX/IBP grass site over a reference tarp (JORNEX 9/28/00).

We used a ASD FieldSpec Pro Spectroradiometer with LabSphere reference panels to calibrate the angular bidirectional reflectance factors:

Of course, we should have all been wearing dark clothes - but it was sooo hot... and we weren't the only ones (Grassland PROVE campaign at the JER transition site).....

Using a mast to acquire bidirectional reflectance factors (a) at the Jornada transition site (Grassland PROVE campaign).

Using a mast to acquire bidirectional reflectance factors (b) also at the Jornada (Grassland PROVE campaign) at the Jornada transition site.

In the Inner Mongolia (Stipa gobica) desert steppe near Saihantale (Mongolian for "beautiful place").
