NordSpec - a research network for spectral data collection

Project: Network

Project Details

Description

NordSpec is a research network for collection of spectral data for ecosystem monitoring. The spectral measurements are conducted year-round using robust equipment in order to capture seasonal signals from vegetation. This information is used as ground reference information for remotely sensed observations from satellite, and for learning more about the dynamics of vegetation. NordSpec is currently focused on field sites in the Nordic countries, but also includes sites beyond, e.g. Greenland, Senegal and the Sudan.
