Illuminating the Capabilities of the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2013 Daytime measurements of reflected sunlight in the visible spectrum have been a staple of Earth-viewing radiometers since the advent of the environmental satellite platform. At night, these same optical-spectrum sensors have traditionally been limited to thermal infrared emission, which contains relatively poor information content for many important ...

Sustainability, 2023 Forest fire regimes are changing as a function of increasing global weather extremes, socioeconomic development, and land use change. It is appropriate to use long-term time series satellite observations to better understand forest fire regimes. However, many studies that have analyzed the spatiotemporal characteristics of forest fires based on fire ...
