HISE: Seeking innovation using hyperspectral instrumentation to study land, ocean, polar, and atmospheric phenomena, including developing strategies for providing rapid response to quickly changing conditions.
The scope of HISE continues to expand as active, polarimetric, and hyperspectral measurement systems provide unprecedented opportunities to monitor and understand our planetary system. These new observations are challenging scientists in all disciplinary areas to develop new approaches for managing and processing the data in addition to working with users of the data products. Additionally, synthesis of hyperspectral observations with those from other measurement platforms shows great scientific potential. Hyperspectral remote sensing over scales ranging from regional to global, and event-oriented to climatological are of interest. All relevant passive, active, imaging, and sounding hyperspectral remote sensing programs, missions, field campaigns, data processing, applications, validation approaches, basic research, educational outreach and users’ feedback are welcome. Additionally, research is solicited that addresses the use of current and future measurements for providing products useful for rapid response efforts to phenomena such as volcanos, floods, changes in land cover, snow/ice cover, and atmospheric events such as biomass burning, tropical storms, trace gases, and heavy aerosol events.
