Hyperspectral data of a submerged tarpaulin at Whitlingham Broad, UK, 2021 dataset https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=009_CEFAS58e95df9-e112-4e50-92ab-3d81a753bd74 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) hyperspectral data collected on 19/08/2021, imagining an artificial 10x10m tarpaulin deployed in Whitlingham broad (Norwich, UK). This dataset was collected in a collaboration with Texo ( `https://www.texo.co.uk/`_) and Headwall ( `https://www.headwallphotonics.com/`_) using a visible-near infrared (VNIR) sensor (400 - 1000 nm). The purpose of the data collection was to better understand the attenuation of plastic spectral signature in the freshwater environment and the effect of water. .. _`https://www.texo.co.uk/`: https://www.texo.co.uk/ .. _`https://www.headwallphotonics.com/`: https://www.headwallphotonics.com/ 20231208 20231130
