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 ...

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 ...

Synoptic classification of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aerosols over Israel [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2009
The origins and variety of aerosols in Israel are strongly influenced by synoptic conditions as well as other variables. Days affected by a weak Persian trough system are characterized by coarse aerosols from North Africa, which contain mainly mineral dust aerosols, whereas days affected by the Red Sea trough with an eastern axis are characterized by ...

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

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.

<title>Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)</title> [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 1993
The moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) is a scanning radiometer that will fly as a facility instrument on the NASA polar-orbiting earth observing system (EOS) spacecraft. The first MODIS instrument is scheduled for launch in 1998 on the first EOS-AM spacecraft.
