The Campaign
The Accelerated Canopy Chemistry Program (ACCP) was a NASA field study aimed at establishing the theoretical and practical basis for remote sensing of nitrogen and lignin concentrations in vegetation canopies across various ecosystems. It involved a single deployment from 1992 to 1993 at sites in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Maine, Florida, and California. The NASA ER-2 aircraft was equipped with the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer - Classic (AVIRIS-C) to gather multispectral imagery for estimating canopy carbon and nitrogen content. Field samples were taken from canopies at each site, followed by laboratory spectra and chemical analyses.
