COMPARISON OF NADIR AND OFF-NADIR MULTISPECTRAL RESPONSE PATTERNS FOR SIX TALLGRASS PRAIRIE TREATMENTS IN EASTERN KANSAS

The objective of this study was to examine reflectance patterns of tallgrass prairies under six land management practices (treatments) and to determine how these patterns change as a function of sensor view zenith and azimuth angles. More specifically, the authors wished to determine (1) whether the six treatments could be spectrally separated using measurements from a ground-based spectroradiometer, and (2) whether one or more sets of off-nadir measurements, taken at one of four view azimuths, were better than nadir measurements for discriminating between the prairie treatments.
