The Airborne Validation Unified Experiment Land to Ocean (AVUELO) project aims to advance the validation of spaceborne hyperspectral data for tropical ecosystems. In a February 2025 campaign, AVUELO combined airborne hyperspectral imagery for terrestrial and marine sites in Panama and Costa Rica with contemporaneous field measurements and collections. In May of 2026, UAVSAR flights complimented AVIRIS-3 flights in targeted areas and included concurrent field collections.
