Field Measurements
These members of the MISR team are preparing to make field measurements at
Lunar Lake, Nevada, early on the morning of June 5, 1996. Here they are working
on a portable instrument that can measure light reflected by the surface
in many color bands and at multiple view angles. In the course of the day,
they carried this instrument around the test site in a backpack, taking hundreds
of images of the surface. During this experiment, they also used instruments
that measure sunlight and skylight. Independent field measurements such as
these will be used to validate and confirm the data acquired by
the spaceborne MISR instrument and the airborne AirMISR instrument.
