An algorithm for retrieving aerosol optical depth from Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager in Vietnam
High-resolution aerosol products offer advantages over lower spatial-resolution products for monitoring pollution in urban areas and industrial zones. Therefore, in this study we develop a Landsat 8 algorithm to retrieve aerosol optical depth (AOD) based

Evaluation of MODIS LAI/FPAR product Collection 6. Part 2: Validation and intercomparison [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to assess the latest version of the MODIS LAI/FPAR product (MOD15A2H), namely Collection 6 (C6). We comprehensively evaluate this product through three approaches: validation with field measurements, intercomparison with other ...

Synthesis of satellite (MODIS), aircraft (ICARTT), and surface (IMPROVE, EPA-AQS, AERONET) aerosol observations over eastern North America to improve MODIS aerosol retrievals and constrain surface aerosol concentrations and sources [PDF]
We use an ensemble of satellite (MODIS), aircraft, and ground-based aerosol observations during the ICARTT field campaign over eastern North America in summer 2004 to (1) examine the consistency between different aerosol measurements, (2) evaluate a new ...

Variations of LST frequency Distribution as an Indicator of Environmental Changes, Case Study Zayabderood and Urmia basins [PDF]
Anthropogenic environmental changes can have serious consequences. Environmental changes affect the frequency distribution of the land surface temperature (LST) due to changes in the thermal properties of the land surface.

Assessment of MISR and MODIS cloud top heights through inter-comparison with a back-scattering lidar at SIRTA [PDF]
One year of back-scattering lidar cloud boundaries and optical depth were analysed for coincident inter-comparison with the latest processed versions of the NASA-TERRA MISR stereo and MODIS CO2-slicing operational cloud top heights. Optically thin clouds
