 MAY 2016 


 1. The 17th-18th May hyperspectral airborne campaign took place in colaboration with Quantalab, from the IAS-CSIC. Visible, SWIR and Thermal cameras were borne in a small plane, acquiring images with high spatial resolution.

 

1. The third of the hyperspectral airborne campaigns planned the EUFAR DEHESHyrE project was completed in Majadas on May 3rd and 4th making the most of a small window of sunny conditions in a quite cloudi spring. The National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA) operated the cameras CASI and AHS whereas project personel acquired ground measurements and vegetations samples.
