Effects of Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper and Landsat 7 EnhancedThematic Mapper Plus radiometric and geometric calibrations andcorrections on landscape characterization
The Thematic Mapper (TM) instruments onboard Landsats 4 and 5 provide high-quality imagery appropriate for many different applications, including land cover mapping, landscape ecology, and change detection. Precise calibration was considered to be critical to the success of the Landsat 7 mission and, thus, issues of calibration were given high priority during the development of the Enhanced The...
متن کاملAutomated mapping of montane snow cover at subpixel resolution from the Landsat Thematic Mapper
A fully automated method uses Landsat Thematic Mapper data to map snow cover in the Sierra Nevada and make quantitative estimates of the fractional snow-covered area within each pixel. We model winter and spring reference scenes as linear mixtures of image end member spectra to produce the response variables for tree-based regression and classification models. Decision trees identify cloud cove...
متن کاملSpectral Signature of Alpine Snow Cover from the Landsat Thematic Mapper
M a p p i n g of snow and estimation of snow characteristics from satellite remote sensing data require that we distinguish snow from other surface cover and from clouds and compensate for the effects of the atmosphere and rugged terrain. The spectral signature of the snowpack is calculated from a radiative transfer model accounting for scattering and absorption by the ice grains, water inclusi...
متن کاملInvestigating Grazing Intensity and Range Condition of Grasslands in Northeastern Kansas Using Landsat Thematic Mapper Data
Grazing changes plant species composition of grassland ecosystems by selective removal and trampling. Grazing also alters soil physical and biogeochemical properties and can dramatically change hydrologic processes that can impact water budgets and quality. For these reasons, practical means are needed to assess grazing management practices and its impacts upon the land. This study examines whe...
متن کاملRunoff estimation using Landsat Thematic Mapper data and the SCS model
Landform, drainage pattern, slope, soil, vegetation and land use/land cover, all of which control surface runoff and peak flow, can be evaluated and mapped reliably and reasonably through Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) false colour composites of the post-monsoon season. Runoff curve numbers (CAO determined from those data predicted the runoff depth and peak flow with a coefficient of determinatio...
