Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer-based vegetation indices and their fidelity in the tropics

Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2011
Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS)-derived vegetation indices (VIs)-the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), and the Land Surface Water Index (LSWI)-are evaluated in terms of their sensitivity to the seasonal greenness pattern and moisture regime of the tropical forests of Hawaii.

A snow index for the Landsat Thematic Mapper and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer

Proceedings of IGARSS '94 - 1994 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002
Describes the snow mapping algorithm being developed for use with the Earth Observing System (EOS) MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). A key component of this snow mapping algorithm is the normalized difference snow index (NDSI). The NDSI employs Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) visible (0.56 /spl mu/m) and near-infrared (1.65 /spl mu/m)

Prototyping the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) BRDF and albedo product

IEEE 1999 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. IGARSS'99 (Cat. No.99CH36293), 2003
In expectation of the launch of EOS Terra, this paper demonstrates how a semi-empirical kernel-based bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model will be used with multi-date MODIS observations to provide a standard global one kilometer BRDF and albedo product.

Sea-surface temperature measured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)

IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the NASA Earth Observing System satellites Terra and Aqua include infrared bands that are designed for the accurate measurement of sea-surface temperature (SST). In addition to the conventional 'split-window' bands in the 10-12 /spl mu/m atmospheric window (similar in spectral properties to ...

Dust absorption averaged over the Sahara inferred from moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer

Applied Optics, 2008
We estimated the average dust single scattering albedo (omega(0)) over the Sahara using four years of moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer data. The method employed is based on the theory that the critical surface reflectance (rho(c)) for which the reflectance at the top-of-the-atmosphere is not influenced by the variability of dust optical ...

Enhanced vegetation index using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers

2012 5th International Congress on Image and Signal Processing, 2012
The enhanced vegetation index (EVI) was developed as a standard satellite vegetation product for the Terra and Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers (MODIS). In this paper, MOD3A3, a global dataset with 1km spatial resolution and one month temporal resolution, was selected as the data source. The dynamic changes of vegetation EVI in China

Retrieval of cloud phase and crystal habit from Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2005
A method of retrieving cloud phase and the dominant ice crystal habit from radiances measured by the Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) has been developed. The retrieval method takes advantage of the differences in the phase function of various particle shapes as a function of ...

Assessment of the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer algorithm for retrieval of aerosol parameters over the ocean

Applied Optics, 2007
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aerosol algorithm over the ocean derives spectral aerosol optical depth and aerosol size parameters from satellite measured radiances at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). It is based on the adding of apparent optical properties (AOPs): TOA reflectance is approximated as a linear combination of ...

Analysis of the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer contextual algorithm for small fire detection

Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2009
In the southeastern United States, most wildland fires are of low intensity. A substantial number of these fires cannot be detected by the MODIS contextual algorithm. To improve the accuracy of fire detection for this region, the remote-sensed characteristics of these fires have to be systematically analyzed.

Point-spread function of the ocean color bands of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on Aqua

Applied Optics, 2010
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua platform has nine spectral bands with center wavelengths from 412 to 870 nm that are used to produce the standard ocean color data products. Ocean scenes usually contain high contrast due to the presence of bright clouds over dark water.
