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 ...

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 and Validation of Collection 6 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Aerosol Products for East Asia

open access: yesAsian Journal of Atmospheric Environment, 2018
The operational aerosol retrieval algorithm for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) measurements was recently updated and named collection 6 (C6). The C6 MODIS aerosol algorithm, a substantially improved version of the collection 5 (

Interpolation and Gap Filling of Landsat Reflectance Time Series [PDF]

open access: yesIGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
Products derived from a single multispectral sensor are hampered by a limited spatial, spectral or temporal resolutions. Image fusion in general and downscaling/blending in particular allow to combine different multiresolution datasets. We present here an optimal interpolation approach to generate smoothed and gap-free time series of Landsat ...

On-Orbit Lunar Modulation Transfer Function Measurements for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2014
Spatial quality of an imaging sensor can be estimated by evaluating its modulation transfer function (MTF) from many different sources such as a sharp edge, a pulse target, or bar patterns with different spatial frequencies. These well-defined targets are frequently used for prelaunch laboratory tests, providing very reliable and accurate MTF ...

Spatiotemporal Assessment of So2, SO4 and AOD from over MENA Domain from 2006 to 2016 Using multiple satellite Data and Reanalysis MERRA2 Data [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geoscience and Environment Protection, 2019, 7, 156-174 http://www.scirp.org/journal/gepISSN Online: 2327-4344ISSN Print: 2327-4336, 2018
The sulfur pollutants are the source of a sizeable portion of the air pollution. In this work, the spatial distribution and temporal trend of the mass concentration of two of the critical sulfur pollutants, SO2 and SO4, in addition to the aerosol optical properties (AOD) were analyzed over the region of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) from ...

Waveguide-Type Multiplexer for Multiline Observation of Atmospheric Molecules using Millimeter-Wave Spectroradiometer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In order to better understand the variation mechanism of ozone abundance in the middle atmosphere, the simultaneous monitoring of ozone and other minor molecular species, which are related to ozone depletion, is the most fundamental and critical method. A waveguide-type multiplexer was developed for the expansion of the observation frequency range of a

A Decade of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer: Is a Solar–Cloud Link Detectable?

open access: yesJournal of Climate, 2012
Abstract Based on the results of decadal correlation studies between the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project–detected cloud anomalies and the galactic cosmic ray (GCR) flux, it has been suggested that a relationship exists between solar activity and cloud cover.
