ABoVE: Directory of Field Sites Associated with 2017 ABoVE Airborne Campaign

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: October 15, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-10

This dataset provides a listing of the ~6,700 field sites used in planning the ABoVE Airborne Campaign (AAC) for 2017. The sites included point, polygon, and line locations that were used in determining the 2017 AAC flight paths. We intend this compilation to assist investigators in understanding the flight line choices and as a method for investigators to identify ground locations used in the airborne campaign. Data users may also search for the underlying data available at each of these locations. Site descriptors include name, coordinates, principal investigators with emails, data types, long-term archive locations, and links to project descriptions.
