# 2025-12-08 NSW6: Transect NSW Site 6, Sentinel-2C and Landsat 9 dual overpass
2+
3+
This is a report of the field data collected on 8 December 2025 at the location of Transect NSW Site 6
4+
to validate the satellite data of the Sentinel-2C and Landsat 9 dual overpass.
5+
The full collection of data is contained in the [National Spectral Database](https://www.ga.gov.au/scientific-topics/dea/dea-data-and-products/national-spectral-database).
6+
Satellite data can be found on [DEA maps](https://maps.dea.ga.gov.au/#share=s-i2o7JwB5gvXOQefhMmTLJaA14b0).

## Results
30+
31+
The surface reflectance statistics collected on this day are grouped into bands.
32+
This allows the data to be used to validate Geoscience Australia's other datasets that use the same standardised bands.

They each cover an area of approximately 2&nbsp;km &times; 2&nbsp;km.

The white box indicates the size and location
81+
of the field site.

87+
Band-by-band plots of surface reflectance for field data versus each satellite.
88+
Satellite uncertainty error bars for each band are the standard deviation
89+
of pixel values over and surrounding the field site.
90+
Field uncertainty error bars are the standard deviation of values after
91+
averaging all spectra within the same satellite pixels.

Plots of Satellite Surface Reflectance for each satellite versus Field Site Surface Reflectance on this day.
99+
The solid line represents the one-to-one equality between field and satellite measurements.

The black dots are the values from all field site measurements prior to this date.
101+
The line of best fit is not shown, but its parameters are given in the bottom-right corner.
