Landsat commercialization

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985
After months of discussions between the Department of Commerce and the President's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) over specific terms of a contract to transfer the land remote sensing satellite (Landsat) system to a private operator, the administration made its position public last week, confirming reports that OMB is not willing to compromise ...

Evaluating anisotropy‐based Monin–Obukhov similarity theory over canopies and complex terrain

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study shows that an anisotropy‐based generalization of Monin–Obukhov surface‐layer scaling (SC23) applies readily across a wide range of atmospheric conditions with variable terrain, canopies, and land‐cover complexity. This work focuses on the scaling of velocity variances for 7 years at the 47 sites in the National Ecological Observation Network

Ecological Characteristics of Stream Reaches With and Without Low‐Tech Process‐Based Restoration in a Wildfire‐Affected Catchment

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐tech process‐based stream restoration (LTPBR) is increasingly implemented following wildfire, underscoring the need to evaluate restoration outcomes in burned catchments. To help address this need, we measured abiotic and biotic characteristics of a reach that received LTPBR, an untreated reach, and a reach with relict beaver activity that

Developing spatially and thematically detailed backdated maps for land cover studies

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth, 2017
Global or regional land cover change on a decadal time scale can be studied at a high level of detail using the availability of remote sensing data such as that provided by Landsat. However, there are three main technical challenges in this goal.

Landsat commercialization

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1984
The House of Representatives will soon vote on a bill that outlines steps to commercialize the land remote‐sensing system. The bill follows attempts last year to commercialize both the land and meteorological remote sensing satellite systems. Meanwhile, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has received bids from seven private ...

Synthetic aperture radar/LANDSAT MSS image registration [PDF]

open access: yes
Algorithms and procedures necessary to merge aircraft synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and LANDSAT multispectral scanner (MSS) imagery were determined. The design of a SAR/LANDSAT data merging system was developed.
