The Campaign
The Superior National Forest (SNF) project was a NASA-led campaign that aimed to assess the effectiveness of remote sensing techniques in measuring biophysical parameters like Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Net Primary Productivity (NPP) in boreal forests. SNF included two deployments in 1983 and 1984 within the Superior National Forest 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 gather remote sensing data on vegetation properties. SNF was funded by the NASA Land Processes Branch.
