The LP DAAC is pleased to announce the availability of Global Hyperspectral Imaging Spectral-library of Agricultural crops for the Conterminous United States (GHISACONUS) Version 1 product. GHISACONUS provides dominant crop data (e.g., winter wheat, rice, corn, soybeans, and cotton) based on Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) Hyperion hyperspectral data acquired from 2008 to 2015 for the seven agroecological zones in United States. Crop growth states (emergence/very early vegetative, early and mid-vegetative, late vegetative, critical, maturing/senescence, and harvest) for the major agricultural crops are also included in the spectral library.
A citation containing the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for the GHISACONUS dataset is provided below.
