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

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