Satellite Based Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation Is Congruent with Plant Diversity in India

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
A dynamic habitat index (DHI) based on satellite derived biophysical proxy (fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation, FAPAR) was used to evaluate the vegetation greenness pattern across deserts to alpine ecosystems in India that account ...

Estimation of aerosol properties over the Chinese desert region with MODIS AOD assimilation in a global model

open access: yesAdvances in Climate Change Research, 2016
A Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter assimilation system has been implemented into an aerosol-coupled global nonhydrostatic model to simulate the aerosol mass concentration and aerosol optical properties of 3 desert sites (Ansai, Fukang, Shapotou) in

Interannual Spatiotemporal Variations of Land Surface Temperature in China From 2003 to 2018

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
Land surface temperature (LST) is a comprehensive embodiment of surface energy balance and land surface processes. The spatial and temporal variation of LST is of great significance for studying surface characteristics and climate change.

Mapping Extent Dynamics of Small Lakes Using Downscaling MODIS Surface Reflectance

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
Lake extent is an indicator of water capacity as well as the aquatic ecological and environmental conditions. Due to the small sizes and rapid water dynamics, monitoring the extent of small lakes fluctuating between 2.5 and 30 km2 require observations ...

Total Suspended Matter Distribution in the Hooghly River Estuary and the Sundarbans: A Remote Sensing Approach

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
Monitoring of total suspended matter (TSM) concentration in the coastal waters is vital for water quality monitoring and coastal management. In this study, TSM over the highly dynamic Hooghly estuary region is derived using moderate resolution imaging ...

Algorithms for Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer cloud-free image compositing [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2013
The presence of clouds is the biggest obstacle in the investigation of land cover, and many techniques have been developed to detect clouds. However, few indicators have been proposed for the detection of cloud-free conditions. To address this, we propose two indicators for use in compositing 8-day cloud-free images: the B 1/7 ratio is the ratio ...

Retrieving surface parameters for climate models from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)‐Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) albedo products [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2007
We present a computer‐efficient software package enabling us to assimilate operational remote‐sensing flux products into a state‐of‐the‐art two‐stream radiation transfer scheme suitable for climate models. This package implements the adjoint and Hessian codes, generated using automatic differentiation techniques, of a cost function balancing (1) the ...
