Scientific Objectives, Measurement Needs, and Challenges Motivating the PARAGON Aerosol Initiative [PDF]

, 2004
Aerosols are involved in a complex set of processes that operate across many spatial and temporal scales. Understanding these processes, and ensuring their accurate representation in models of transport, radiation transfer, and climate, requires ...

Spaceborne Satellite for Snow Cover and Hydrological Characteristic of the Gilgit River Basin, Hindukush–Karakoram Mountains, Pakistan

Sensors, 2019
The Indus River, which flows through China, India, and Pakistan, is mainly fed by melting snow and glaciers that are spread across the Hindukush⁻Karakoram⁻Himalaya Mountains. The downstream population of the Indus Plain heavily relies on this

A NEW SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL FUSION MODEL [PDF]

ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
As Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) has a tradeoff between the high temporal resolution and high spatial resolution, this paper proposed a spatial and temporal model with auto-regression ...

Aerosol Data Sources and Their Roles within PARAGON [PDF]

, 2004
We briefly but systematically review major sources of aerosol data, emphasizing suites of measurements that seem most likely to contribute to assessments of global aerosol climate forcing. The strengths and limitations of existing satellite, surface, and

A Linear Regression of Differential PWV Calibration Model to Improve the Accuracy of MODIS NIR All-Weather PWV Products Based on Ground-Based GPS PWV Data

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
Precipitable water vapor (PWV) products derived from the near-infrared (NIR) channels of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments, onboard Aqua and Terra satellites, were calibrated using a linear differential PWV (LinearDP ...

Upscaling key ecosystem functions across the conterminous United States by a water-centric ecosystem model [PDF]

, 2011
We developed a water-centric monthly scale simulation model (WaSSI-C) by integrating empirical water and carbon flux measurements from the FLUXNET network and an existing water supply and demand accounting model (WaSSI).

Downscaling SMAP and SMOS soil moisture with moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer visible and infrared products over southern Arizona

, 2017
. This current study explores satellite-based soil moisture downscaling approaches and applies them to common passive microwave retrievals. Three variations of a second-order polynomial regression were tested based on the surface temperature/greenness ...
