CORALYNN-18

Optical

experiment Overview 

A high resolution digital SLR camera and a NDVI camera as well as a FLIR camera are available to the campaign. The digital camera is a Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III that provides 21 MegaPixel full frame images. It has a 24 mm (23°) to 105 mm (84°) variable zoom lens. The NDVI camera is a Canon EOS 90D DSLR with 32.5 MegaPixel resolution and has 18-55mm lens. The optical photos will be collected over the entire sampling area at least once. The FLIR A65 is a compact thermal infrared (7.5 – 13 μm) camera measuring temperatures between –40°C and +550°C. It has 45° x 37° Field-Of-View and provides 640 x 512 pixels resolution temperature observations with an accuracy of ±5°C. The FLIR A65 will be installed on the aircraft and used to map centre swath skin temperature during each flight.
