Aerial imagery and other remotely-sensed data from a UAS survey of Pepperwood Preserve: Flight 3, May 2023
This child item contains Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) imagery from three data collection campaigns (flights) over the Pepperwood Preserve in Sonoma County, California. Each child item contains: 1) Orthophoto, 2) Thermal, 3) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), 4) L-band microwave brightness temperature (Tb), 5) Estimated soil moisture, and 6) Digital elevation model from orthoimagery. The overall footprint varies depending on the type of sensor. This flight was done using a multirotor electric UAS called the E2. This flight contains an additional higher resolution L-band microwave brightness temperature and soil moisture map that covers a smaller footprint. All files are zipped raster (*.tif) files that can be visualized and edited by geospatial software including ArcGIS, QGIS, Python, and R. The spatial resolution of each raster is dependent on the instrument and the UAS altitude during data collection. The UAS equipment was operated by personnel from BlackSwift Technologies, LLC, and data were provided to U.S. Geological Survey.
