The Campaign
The Superior National Forest (SNF) project was a NASA-led campaign that focused on evaluating the usefulness of remote sensing techniques in measuring biophysical parameters such as Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Net Primary Productivity (NPP) in boreal forests. SNF consisted of two deployments during 1983 and 1984 in the Superior National Forest located near Ely, Minnesota. NASA’s C-130 aircraft and Bell Jet-Range helicopter were equipped with the Thematic Mapper Simulator (TMS) and Modular Multiband Radiometer, respectively, to collect remote sensing observations of vegetation properties. SNF was funded by the NASA Land Processes Branch.
