NASA Earthdata and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center (ORNL DAAC) released facility instrument data collections for the Airborne Visible/InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer–5th Generation (AVIRIS-5) instrument. Three collections were published, covering from Level 1B radiance to Level 2A/B surface reflectance and greenhouse gas enhancements data. 

All three collections include quicklook images and text files in YAML format that document the processing algorithms and parameters used during production. These collections include files that support the Western Diversity Time Series (WDTS) field investigation, the Tokyo Field Campaign (Tokyo-FC), and the Geological Earth Mapping Experiment (GEMx).

AVIRIS-5 is an imaging spectrometer developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and built for flight on NASA airborne platforms. It is the latest version of NASA AVIRIS spectrometers, following AVIRIS-C, AVIRIS-NG, and AVIRIS-3. AVIRIS-5 has 0.5 to 13 meter ground-sampling spatial resolution and is compatible with the ER-2, B-200, Gulfstream, and other airborne platforms. The spectrometer is identical in design to the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) imaging spectrometer that flies on the International Space Station (ISS).

More information on these datasets can be found on the AVIRIS-5 facility instrument page.
