Description
Summary:This dataset consists of the unprocessed radiance measurements downloaded directly from the unmanned aerial system imaging platform used to image the ice sheet surface at S6 on the south-west Greenland K-transect during July 2017, along with captures of reflectance panels and sensor calibration parameters which enable these imagery to be transformed to reflectance measurements. Funding was provided by the NERC standard grant NE/M021025/1. : Flights occurred on: 2017-07-15 2017-07-17 2017-07-20 2017-07-21 2017-07-22 2017-07-23 2017-07-24 Precise flight times are encoded in TIFF headers.
