Seasonal Differences in Land Surface Temperature under Different Land Use/Land Cover Types from the Perspective of Different Climate Zones

open access: yesLand, 2022
The process of urbanization is accelerating, and land surface temperature (LST) is increasing, seriously threatening human health. Therefore, it is crucial to explore the differences in LST of different land use/land cover (LULC) types. Using MOD11A2 and

Spatial distribution of dust's optical properties over the Sahara and Asia inferred from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013
There is great uncertainty regarding the role of mineral dust aerosols in Earth's climate system. One reason for this uncertainty is that the optical properties of mineral dust, such as its single scattering albedo (the ratio of scattering to total ...

SWCTI: Surface Water Content Temperature Index for Assessment of Surface Soil Moisture Status

open access: yesSensors, 2018
The vegetation supply water index (VSWI = NDVI/LST) is an effective metric estimating soil moisture in areas with moderate to dense vegetation cover. However, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) exhibits a long water stress lag and the land

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...
