TITLE: Willow YNP-WI-1 DESCRIPT

DOCUMENTATION_FORMAT: PLANT

SAMPLE_ID: YNP-WI-1

PLANT_TYPE: Shrub

PLANT: Willow

LATIN_NAME: Salix sp.

COLLECTION_LOCALITY: Obsidian Creek (south of Indian Creek Campground and north of Obsidian Cliff), Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA.

ORIGINAL_DONOR: R.

SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:

Averaged spectral reflectance for a riparian area, dominated by willows, located on the banks of Obsidian Creek (south of Indian Creek Campground and north of Obsidian Cliff) of Yellowstone National Park. This average spectrum was computed from 30 pixels of radiative-transfer-ground-calibrated AVIRIS data.  AVIRIS data were collected on August 6, 1996, at approximately 11:10 am Local Time.  AVIRIS channels 1-4, 32-33, 43, 59-62, 81-84, 95-97, 106-113, 154-167, 173-175, and 222-224 were deleted due to residual atmospheric effects, poor instrument response, and redundancy where detectors overlap.
