The U.S. National Science Foundation's National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) is a continental-scale observation facility operated by Battelle and designed to collect long-term open access ecological data to better understand how U.S. ecosystems are changing. In addition to in situ data products, NEON provides repeat high-resolution airborne remote sensing data at 81 terrestrial and aquatic field sites throughout the United States and Puerto Rico for ecological research and monitoring.

NEON Canopy Height Model (CHM)
Height of the top of canopy above bare earth (Canopy Height Model; CHM). The CHM is derived from the LiDAR point cloud and is generated by creating a continuous surface of canopy height estimates across the entire spatial domain of the LiDAR survey. The point … airborne canopy forest lidar neon neon-prod-earthengine -
NEON Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
Digital models of the surface (DSM) and terrain (DTM) derived from NEON LiDAR data. DSM: Surface features (topographic information with vegetation and man-made structures present). DTM: Bare earth elevation (topographic information with vegetation and man-made structures removed). Images are given in meters above mean sea … airborne dem forest lidar neon neon-prod-earthengine -
NEON Directional Surface Reflectance
The NEON AOP surface directional reflectance data is a hyperspectral VSWIR (visible to shortwave infrared) data product, containing 426 bands spanning wavelengths from ~380 nm to 2510 nm. Wavelengths between 1340-1445 nm and 1790-1955 nm are set to -100; these are water vapor absorption bands … airborne forest hyperspectral neon neon-prod-earthengine publisher-dataset -
NEON Bidirectional Surface Reflectance
The NEON AOP surface bidirectional reflectance data is a hyperspectral VSWIR (visible to shortwave infrared) data product, containing 426 bands spanning wavelengths from ~380 nm to 2510 nm.

NEON RGB Camera Imagery
High resolution Red-Green-Blue (RGB) orthorectified camera images mosaicked and output onto a fixed, uniform spatial grid using nearest-neighbor resampling; spatial resolution is 0.1 m. The digital camera is part of a suite of instruments on the NEON Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) that also includes a … airborne forest highres neon neon-prod-earthengine orthophoto
