HyTES Level 1 Radiance, Facility Instrument Collection, 2013-2016

This dataset contains Level 1 (L1) radiance imagery from the Hyperspectral Thermal Emission Spectrometer (HyTES) instrument. This is the NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) facility instrument archive of these data. The NASA HyTES is an airborne imaging spectrometer with 256 spectral channels between 7.5 and 12 micrometers in the thermal infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum and 512 pixels cross-track. HyTES has been deployed on DHC-6 Twin Otter, NASA's Earth Resources ER-2, and GulfStream V aircraft and completed its first flights in July 2012. Radiance units are W m-2 micron-1 sr-1. HyTES was designed to provide high spectral and spatial resolution thermal infrared (TIR) data as a precursor for NASA's planned Hyperspectral Infrared Imager (HyspIRI) orbital mission. It is useful for a number of applications, including high-resolution surface temperature and emissivity measurements, point sources of air pollution, and volcano observations. This Facility Instrument dataset includes the L1 radiance files from the HyTES flights in years 2013 to 2016. The data are provided in ENVI format.
