FUZZY MODELING OF CYANOBACTERIAL SURFACE WATERBLOOMS: VALIDATION WITH NOAA-AVHRR SATELLITE IMAGES

Investigation of Relationship Between Rainfall and Vegetation Index by Using NOAA/AVHRR Satellite Images

Use of satellite images is known as a new technique to study changes in vegetation cover. On the other hand, rainfall plays a key role on the condition of vegetation cover. This article investigates the changes in vegetation and its relation to rainfall days and monthly time intervals over the (2000-2003) period. The region of study is part of Azerbaijan province located in an area surrounded. ...

land surface temperature modeling using noaa-avhrr thermal data

the highest temperatures of the world are recorded in dry and warm climates. this can especially be observed in deserts, where vegetations and soil moisture are very low. as a result, the soil surface receives high thermal energy and its temperature rises up. the lut desert has the above characteristics, making it a suitable environment to prepare land surface temperature (lst) models. objectiv...

Integrating AVHRR satellite data and NOAA ground observations to predict surface air temperature: a statistical approach

Ground station temperature data are not commonly used simultaneously with the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) to model and predict air temperature or land surface temperature. Technology was developed to acquire near-synchronous datasets over a 1 000 000 km region with the goal of improving the measurement of air temperature at the surface. This study compares several statistic...

Development of flood hazard maps of Bangladesh using NOAA-AVHRR images with GIS

Flood hazard maps were developed using remote sensing (RS) data for the historical event of the 1988 flood with data of elevation height, and geological and physiographic divisions. Flood damage depends on the hydraulic factors which include characteristics of the flood such as the depth of flooding, rate of the rise in water level, propagation of a flood wave, duration and frequency of floodin...
