A Harmonized Landsat–Sentinel‐2 Burned‐Area Product for the Pantanal (2014–2024), Based on Multitemporal Composites

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
This work presents AQM‐HLS, a harmonized burned‐area dataset for the Pantanal covering 2014–2024. Landsat‐8/9 and Sentinel‐2 imagery were integrated into multitemporal NBR composites and classified using Random Forest. The dataset captures fire‐scar dynamics, delivering accurate 30‐m burned‐area maps suitable for long‐term monitoring and environmental ...

Land Surface Temperature product validation using NOAA's surface climate observation networks—Scaling methodology for the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS)

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2012
Abstract NOAA will soon use the new Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) as its primary polar-orbiting satellite imager. Employing a near real-time processing system, NOAA will generate a series of Environmental Data Records (EDRs) from VIIRS data. For example, the VIIRS Land Surface Temperature (

Spectral‐Resolved Light at Night: TEMPO Observations and Background Correction

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) poses risks to public health and ecosystems. While long‐term remote sensing has tracked global nighttime light, spectrally resolved light at night (spectral light at night (SLAN)) data from geostationary orbit only became available with NASA's Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) mission. Its
