Abstract We stand at the threshold of a transformative era in Earth observation, marked by space‐borne visible‐to‐shortwave infrared (VSWIR) imaging spectrometers that promise consistent global observations ecosystem function, phenology, and inter‐ intra‐annual change. However, full value repeat spectroscopy, information embedded within different temporal scales, reliability existing algorithms across diverse types vegetation phenophases have remained elusive due to absence suitable sub‐seasonal spectroscopy data. In response, Surface Biology Geology (SBG) High‐Frequency Time Series (SHIFT) campaign was initiated during late February 2022 Santa Barbara County, California. SHIFT, designed support NASA's SBG mission, addressed mission scoping, scientific advancement, applications development, community building. This ambitious endeavor included weekly Airborne Visible InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer‐Next Generation (AVIRIS‐NG) imagery acquisitions for 13 weeks (spanning 24 May 29, 2022), accompanied coordinated terrestrial coastal aquatic data collection. describe rich datasets collected illustrate how complex patterns change can be linked biological science applications, surpassing insights from multispectral observations. Leveraging open‐source processing methods cloud‐based analysis tools, SHIFT showcases readiness harness ecological remotely sensed hyperspectral time series. provide an overview SHIFT's goals, collections, preliminary results, collaborative efforts early career scientists committed unlocking potential high‐frequency series VSWIR spectrometers.
