Three mature stands at the forest test site Jarvselja, Estonia were extensively measured for using as a validation dataset for heterogeneous canopy reflectance models. In order to enable the reconstruction of the 3-D architecture of these 100 x 100 m(2) test plots, individual tree positions and crown dimensions were inventoried. In addition, leaf, needle, stem bark and branch bark visible and near-infrared (VNIR) reflectance spectra, and VNIR reflectance spectra of ground vegetation were measured. This in situ dataset is supported by atmospherically and radiometrically corrected Mode 3 CHRIS reflectance spectra for three view directions. and top of canopy VNIR nadir spectra from airborne measurements. Details of measurements, instruments in use, data processing, and access to data are described in a technical report which is available on-line. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
