We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
The Joint Remote Sensing Research Project was primarily responsible for the curation of this data set, however the following organisations contributed to the data collection: Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Curtin University, University of Adelaide and CSIRO.
This work was funded by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), an Australian Government National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) project.

Data Creation
Sampling Strategy:
Data is typically collected from standardised calibration targets (white, grey and black) laid out in an open area within or nearby the site. Data is collected in a zig zag pattern of points over the target at approximately 1 m intervals. Natural features (roads, soils, grass, irradiance) are also collected opportunistically.
