Evaluation of Landscape Structure Using AVIRIS Quicklooks and Ancillary DataCurrently the best tool for examining landscape structure is remote sensing, because remotely sensed data provide complete and repeatable coverage over landscapes in many climatic regimes. Many sensors, with a variety of spatial scales and temporal repeat cycles, are available. The Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) has imaged over 4000 scenes from over 100 different sites throughout North America. For each of these scenes, one-band "quicklook" images have been produced for review by AVIRIS investigators. These quicklooks are free, publicly available over the Internet, and provide the most complete set of landscape structure data yet produced. This paper describes the methodologies used to evaluate the landscape structure of quicklooks and generate corresponding datasets for climate, topography and land use. A brief discussion of preliminary results is included at the end. Since quicklooks correspond exactly to their parent AVIRIS scenes, the methods used to derive climate, topography and land use data should be applicable to any AVIRIS analysis.
