AVIRIS-3
Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer - 3rd Generation

The Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer - 3rd Generation (AVIRIS-3) is an airborne imaging spectrometer developed at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). AVIRIS-3 is the third version of the NASA AVIRIS spectrometers following AVIRIS-C and AVIRIS-NG. It has a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), finer spatial sampling, and wider swath width compared to previous versions. It provides measurements of radiance and reflectance in the 380-2500 nm spectral range at 7.4 nm spectral resolution. AVIRIS-3 has a measurement frequency of 200 Hz and spatial sampling of 0.5 to 13 meters.
