Quantitative assessment of AOD from 17 CMIP5 models based on satellite-derived AOD over India [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2016
Aerosol optical depth (AOD) values from 17 CMIP5 models are compared with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) derived AODs over India.

Threshold model for detecting transparent plastic-mulched landcover using moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer time series data: a case study in southern Xinjiang, China

, 2015
. Plastic-mulched landcover (PML) is the land surface covered by thin plastic films. PML has been expanding rapidly worldwide and has formed a significant agriculture landscape in the last two decades.

Woody cover and geology as regional‐scale determinants of semi‐arid savanna stability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Savannas are vital for global biodiversity and carbon storage, yet their responses to climate change and human activity remain uncertain. Using remote sensing time series and Bayesian Linear Models, we show that drought resistance and resilience vary regionally, shaped by complex interactions between geology, woody cover, fire regimes, past climate ...

Vegetation hot spot signatures from synergy of DSCOVR EPIC, Terra MISR, MODIS and geostationary sensors [PDF]

, 2019
It has been widely recognized that the hotspot region in Bidirectional Reflectance Factors (BRF) of vegetated surfaces represents the most information-rich directions in the directional distribution of canopy reflected radiation.

Advancing the mapping of vegetation structure in savannas using Sentinel‐1 imagery

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
As vegetation structure monitoring is important for the understanding and conservation of savanna ecosystems, we explored the utility of C‐band synthetic aperture radar imagery for mapping both grassland and woody vegetation structure in the Greater Serengeti‐Mara Ecosystem.

Hyperspectral imaging has a limited ability to remotely sense the onset of beech bark disease

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Although hyperspectral imaging is a powerful remote sensing tool, it proved ineffective in predicting the progression of beech bark disease, except in its later stages, both at the canopy and leaf levels. While some alterations in chlorophyll, water content, and canopy structure may have influenced foliar reflectance at the canopy scale, as suggested ...

Multiscale climatological albedo look-up maps derived from moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer BRDF/albedo products

, 2014
Surface albedo determines radiative forcing and is a key parameter for driving Earth’s climate. Better characterization of surface albedo for individual land cover types can reduce the uncertainty in estimating changes to Earth’s radiation balance due to

ECOSTRESS‐derived semi‐arid forest temperature and evapotranspiration estimates demonstrate drought and thinning impacts

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ECOSTRESS lands surface temperature (LST) data are sensitive to forest thinning, regional drought, and their interaction. Consistent with high‐resolution UAV images, ECOSTRESS LST data indicate thinned forest had significantly greater temperature across years.

Assessment of Accuracy of Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Sea Surface Temperature at High Latitudes Using Saildrone Data

Remote Sensing
The infrared (IR) satellite remote sensing of sea surface skin temperature (SSTskin) is challenging in the northern high-latitude region, especially in the Arctic because of its extreme environmental conditions, and thus the accuracy of SSTskin ...

Comparative Analysis of Four Models to Estimate Chlorophyll-a Concentration in Case-2 Waters Using MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Imagery

Remote Sensing, 2012
The occurrence and extent of intense harmful algal blooms (HABs) have increased in inland waters during recent decades. Standard monitor networks, based on infrequent sampling from a few fixed observation stations, are not providing enough information on
