The Hyper-Swiss-Net project aims at developing and supporting the scientific expertise and infrastructure in Switzerland for the exploitation of imaging spectrometry technology for different Earth observation applications. Based on dedicated flight experiments with the airborne ESA imaging spectrometer APEX a range of prototype applications products will be developed and the scientific expertise will be further dissaminated within the Swiss Research by means of specific teaching modules. The Remote Sensing Research Group cover the snow and climate part within this project. As illustrated in the Figuer below, the product is planned to provide a synthesis from different applications based on available data sets.
