Hey Franco,

Here's the next data set;  Here goes:

GER_nowramp.tar

Data:

#ABSTRACT:
The hyperspectral surveys were conducted using a hyperspectral
radiometer
encased in a custom-made underwater housing. The NOWRAMP 2000 expedition
represents the first time an un-tethered underwater spectroradiometer
was used in coral reef ecosystems.  From the readings, one derives
substrate reflectance, which can be directly compared to remotely sensed
images.  Readings were collected from the most common substrates
including
corals, algae, sand, rubble and pavement.  Several hundred spectral
readings
were collected during the 2001 NWHI field campaigns.
