This data set contains 20 multispectral surface reflectance images collected by the EO-1 satellite Hyperion sensor at 30-m resolution and covering the entire Amazon Basin for 2002 - 2005. All images were converted to GeoTiff format for distribution. The respective ENVI *.hdr files are included as companion files and contain image projection and band information.
The selected multispectral images were processed using ENVI software as described in Chambers et al. (2009). Bands with uncalibrated wavelengths and those with low spectral response were removed leaving a spectral subset of generally 196 bands (some images have fewer). A cloud mask was developed using 2-d scatter plots of variable reflectance bands to highlight clouds as regions of interest (ROIs), allowing clouds and cloud edges to be masked. A de-streaking algorithm was then applied to the image to reduce variance in balance between the vertical columns. Apparent surface reflectance was calculated for this balanced image using the atmospheric correction algorithm ACORN in 1.5pb mode (AIG-LLC, Boulder, CO). The images (18 of the 20) were georeferenced using the corresponding Advanced Land Imager (ALI) satellite images.

Hyperion satellite images were collected from across the Amazon basin and processed using ENVI software. The large number of spectral bands on the Hyperion imager allow for the classification and imaging of more complex land ecosystems than is possible with Landsat technology.
The multispectral images were processed using ENVI software. Bands with uncalibrated wavelengths and those with low spectral response were removed leaving a spectral subset of generally 196 bands (some images have fewer). A cloud mask was developed using 2-d scatter plots of variable reflectance bands to highlight clouds as ROIs, allowing clouds and cloud edges to be masked. A de-streaking algorithm was then applied to the image to reduce variance in balance between the vertical columns. Apparent surface reflectance was calculated for this balanced image using the atmospheric correction algorithm ACORN in 1.5pb mode (AIG-LLC, Boulder, CO). The images (18 of the 20) were georeferenced using the corresponding Advanced Land Imager (ALI) satellite images.
Assessment of the quality of each image after completion of the processing steps as described in the next section (eg., for cloud cover). Fair images (eg., high percent cloud cover) are still adequate for use in imaging and classification of complex land surfaces.

Hyperion satellite images were collected from across the Amazon basin and processed using ENVI software as follows: Bands with uncalibrated wavelengths and those with low spectral response were removed leaving a spectral subset of generally 196 bands (some images have fewer). A cloud mask was developed using 2-d scatter plots of variable reflectance bands to highlight clouds as ROIs, allowing clouds and cloud edges to be masked. A de-streaking algorithm was then applied to the image to reduce variance in balance between the vertical columns which are common in push-broom sensor systems such as Hyperion. Apparent surface reflectance was calculated for this balanced image using the atmospheric correction algorithm ACORN in 1.5pb mode (AIG-LLC, Boulder, CO). This mode is designed specifically for push-broom sensors, such as Hyperion. Finally, images were georeferenced using the corresponding ALI satellite images. Each image comes with a header (.hdr file) containing additional image metadata.
ORNL DAAC Processing:
The data received from the investigators were in ENVI format. Each image came with a header file (*.hdr) containing additional image metadata. GeoTiffs were created from the ENVI files and are provided with this data set.
