Title

A Spectral Vegetation Radiometer for Airborne Boundary-layer Research

Abstract

This document presents a comprehensive description of the Spectral Vegetation Radiometer (SVR) used on NCAR aircraft to derive information about the vegetation cover. Specifically provided is background information of the vegetation index, discussion of applications and descriptions of problems involved in analyzing the vegetation index. Furthermore, the reader obtains an inside view of the instrument design and how the calibration should be performed.
