Airborne Imagery Of The UK (Digital)

The database contains images of the UK, recorded from various airborne multispectral sensors operated by or on behalf of the NERC airborne remote sensing facility. It includes data from the ATM, CASI, PMI, and thermal line scanner instruments. The data are stored in proprietary formats on various types of magnetic media. Full datasets belong to the NERC but BGS has access, the NERC earth observation data centre, NEODC, hold the data. For all enquiries contact NEODC at http://www.neodc.rl.ac.uk.

Supplemental Information
Start date for dataset is the first NERC flying campaign. Surveys of limited areal extent have been conducted throughout Great Britain. Depends on flying height and sensor used. Typically ranges between 10m and 2m. Different sensors record information in wavebands. Refer to sensor information details. The area covered is based on requirements of scientific study rather than a systematic survey.
