The NEON Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) is an array of instruments installed in a light aircraft to collect high resolution remote sensing data. Every year, NEON conducts airborne remote sensing flight surveys using the AOP to provide researchers with data about surface geology, topography, vegetation structure and plant biochemistry. In this video, you will get an inside look into flight operations and logistics, the instrumentation used for flight surveys, and the types of data NEON collects.
