Total reflectance of built, cultivated and natural land surfaces. Data are to be used as "reference values only" as actual values will vary.

Usage

materials.mspct

Format

A reflector_mspct object named materials.mspct containing a collection of reflector_spct objects each with 491 rows and 2 variables.

The variables for each spectrum are as follows:#'

  • w.length (nm)

  • Rfr (fraction)

These member objects contain metadata stored as R attributes. Accessors to the metadata are available: what_measured(), how_measured(), when_measured(), and comment().

#> Name: Dry grass
#> Type:  Vegetation
#> Class:  Grasses
#> Subclass:  Dry grass
#> Particle Size:  Solid
#> Sample No.:  drygrass.doc
#> Owner:  JHU
#> Wavelength Range:  All
#> Origin:  The entire spectral range was measured at Johns Hopkins University.
#> 
#> Description:  Dry grass.  Spectra were assembled from two segments; the 
#> bidirectional VNIR and SWIR comprising segment one, and the hemispherical 
#> MWIR and TIR comprising segment two. The VNIR/SWIR spectrum was 
#> measured in the laboratory at JHU with a GER IRIS Mark IV, using a large piece 
#> of sod.  The grass was illuminated from directly above and measured at a 
#> reflectance angle of 60 degrees to avoid viewing the thatch. 
#> Measurement:  Bidirectional and directional hemispherical reflectance. 
#> First Column:  X
#> Second Column:  Y  
#> X Units:  Wavelength (micrometers)
#> Y Units:  Reflectance (percent)
#> First X Value: 0.38049
#> Last X Value: 14.011 
#> Number of X Values: 2559
#> Additional Information:  None.
