Metadata details
AAS_4361_Robbos_2014_Health
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
This record contains a map of modeled mos health based on multi-sensor data. Data was collected in February 2014 over the Robinson Ridge moss bed. The sensors were carried aboard a small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) that flew a grid pattern over the area at 50m above ground level.
The sensor data was georeferenced via ground control points placed in Robinsons Ridge moss bed area and with their location then measured with an RTK GPS that was running corrections from a local base station.
The file provided in this dataset is a 6 band binary file with an associated text header file such that software, such as ENVI or ArcGIS, can easily open the file for display. Pixel values are a moss health percentage, i.e. 0.0-100.0, all information as to the dimensions and georeferencing of the data can be found in the header file.
