The BOREAS RSS-2 team used the ASAS instrument, mounted on the NASA C-130 aircraft, to create at-sensor radiance
images of various sites as a function of spectral wavelength, view geometry (combinations of view zenith angle, view azimuth
angle, solar zenith angle, and solar azimuth angle), and altitude. The level-1b ASAS images of the BOREAS study areas were
collected from April to September 1994 and March to July 1996.

The BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study Tower Flux-2 (BOREAS TF-2) team collected meteorological and ozone measurements
from instruments mounted below a tethered balloon. These data were collected at the Southern Study Area Old Aspen
(SSA-OA) site to extend meteorological and ozone measurements made from the flux tower to heights of 300 m. The tethersonde
operated during the fall of 1993 and the spring, summer, and fall of 1994. The data are available in tabular ASCII files.

The BOReal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study Remote Sensing Science (BOREAS RSS-7) team used LANDSAT Thematic
Mapper (TM) images processed at CCRS to produce images of Leaf Area Index (LAI) for the BOREAS study areas. Two images
acquired on 06-Jun and 09-Aug-1991 were used for the SSA, and one image acquired on 09-Jun-1994 was used for the NSA. The
LAI images are based on ground measurements and LANDSAT TM Reduced Simple Ratio (RSR) images. The data are stored
in binary image-format files.
