Trends in MODIS and AERONET derived aerosol optical thickness over Northern Europe [PDF]
Long-term Aqua and Terra MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) Collections 5.1 and 6.1 (c051 and c061, respectively) aerosol data have been combined with AERONET (AERosol RObotic NETwork) ground-based sun photometer observations to ...

Advanced InSAR atmospheric correction: MERIS/MODIS combination and stacked water vapour models [PDF]
A major source of error for repeat-pass Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is the phase delay in radio signal propagation through the atmosphere (especially the part due to tropospheric water vapour).

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

Estimation and counter- validation of LISS-III derived leaf area index in Deltaic vegetation [PDF]
Leaf area index (LAI), a dimensionless biophysical variable is considered as one of the most important factors in characterizing canopy structure. It estimates the amount of foliage area per unit of ground area and helps indirectly to assess biomass and ...

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 ...

Prototyping of LAI and FPAR retrievals from MODIS multi-angle implementation of atmospheric correction (MAIAC) data [PDF]
Leaf area index (LAI) and fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR) absorbed by vegetation are key variables in many global models of climate, hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecology.
