CAR Skukuza South African Ecosystems L1 V1 (CAR_SKUKUZA_L1C) at GES DISC
CAR mission Skukuza measured bidirectional reflection functions over different natural surfaces and ecosystems in southern Africa. The measurements were conducted to characterize surface anisotropy in support of the CAR SAFARI mission and to validate products from NASA’s Earth Observing System satellites.
