For BOREAS, the NS001 TMS imagery, along with the other remotely sensed images, was collected in order to provide spatially
extensive information over the primary study areas. This information includes detailed land cover and biophysical parameter
maps such as fPAR and LAI. Data collections occurred over the study areas during the 1994 field campaigns.

The level-0 Daedalus Thematic Mapper Simulator (TMS) imagery, along with the other remotely sensed images, was collected
to provide spatially extensive information about radiant energy over the primary BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study
(BOREAS) study areas. This information includes detailed land cover and biophysical parameter maps such as fraction of Photosynthetically
Active Radiation (fPAR) and Leaf Area Index (LAI). Two flights of the Daedalus TMS instrument were made
onboard the ER-2 aircraft on 16-Sep-1994 and 17-Sep-1994.

The BOREAS RSS-3 team collected and processed helicopter-based measurements of atmospheric conditions to estimates
of aerosol optical thickness and atmospheric water vapor. The automatic sun-tracking photometer for helicopters was deployed
during all three 1994 IFCs at numerous tower and auxiliary sites in both the NSA and the SSA. Six spectral channels (440, 540,
613, 670, 870, and 1030 nm) were chosen to span the visible and NIR wavelengths and to avoid gaseous absorption. One additional
channel, 940 nm, was selected to measure the water column abundance above the helicopter platform. The data are stored in tabular
ASCII files.

For BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS), the MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS) images, along with the other
remotely sensed data, were collected to provide spatially extensive information over the primary study areas. This information
includes detailed land cover and biophysical parameter maps such as fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fPAR) and
Leaf Area Index (LAI). Collection of the MAS images occurred over the study areas during the 1994 field campaigns. The level-1b
MAS data cover the dates of 21-Jul-1994, 24-Jul-1994, 04-Aug-1994, and 08-Aug-1994. The data are not geographically/geomet-
