DescriptionThis dataset contains airborne hyperspectral imagery from the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) during a pilot campaign conducted approximately 300 km offshore of San Francisco over two weeks in October 2021. S-MODE aims to understand how ocean dynamics acting on short spatial scales influence the vertical exchange of physical and biological variables in the ocean. The Modular Aerial Sensing System (MASS) is an airborne instrument package that is mounted on the DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft which flies long duration detailed surveys of the field domain during deployments. MASS includes a hyperspectral camera operating in the visible to near-IR range (400-990 nm). Hyperspectral data are used by S-MODE to provide visible imagery of the kinematics of whitecaps and ocean color measurements. Level 1 data are available as zip files containing data in ENVI format and text files containing location and timing information.
