Abstract: The HyPlant imaging spectrometer is a high-performance airborne instrument consisting of two sensor modules. The DUAL module records hyperspectral data in the spectral range from 400–2500 nm, which are useful to derive biochemical and structural plant properties. In parallel, the FLUO module acquires data in the red and near infrared range (670–780 nm) with a distinctly higher spectral sampling interval and finer spectral resolution. The technical specifications of HyPlant FLUO allow for the retrieval of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), a small signal emitted by plants, which is directly linked to their photosynthetic efficiency. The combined use of both HyPlant modules opens up new opportunities in plant science. The presented example dataset was recorded on June 29, 2018 at 12.30 MEST and covers a part of the agricultural research station Campus Klein-Altendorf (CKA), which is affiliated to the Agricultural Faculty of the University of Bonn (Germany). The area is located between the cities of Rheinbach and Meckenheim in the western part of Germany (50°37′N, 6°59′E), 40 km south of Cologne. A detailed description of the presented dataset can be found in the file 'data_description.txt'. Furthermore, descriptions of the single products for each sensor module are provided in the files 'HyPlant_DUAL_product_description.csv' and 'HyPlant_FLUO_product_description.csv', respectively. The image data itself is stored in ENVI band sequential format with the file extension '*.bsq'. The charactaristics of the HyPlant sensor system are summarized in the file 'HyPlant_technical_characteristics.csv'.
