Spectral reflectance measurement methodologies for Tuz Golu field campaign

A field campaign had been organized in August 2010 on Tuz Golu salt lake, Turkey, with the aim of characterizing the site for satellite optical sensor vicarious calibration, and of comparing different methodologies of surface reflectance factor characterization. Several teams have made ground based reflectance measurements with a field spectrometer on different areas of the salt lake of 100 m × 300 m and 1km × 1 km size. Different types of sampling strategies and measurements methods have been used by the participants, and are described in this paper. Preliminary results on one area are presented, that show a good agreement between the different measurements.
