Satellite remote sensing to monitor species diversity: potential and pitfalls

Aerosol Satellite Remote Sensing Aerosol Satellite Remote Sensing

A new aerosol retrieval algorithm is presented which computes the spectral opti-cal depth over the ocean from spaceborne radiometers. It includes both multiplescattering and the bi-directional re ectance of the ocean surface. The algorithmis applied to data from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer 2 (ATSR-2).This radiometer aboard the ERS-2 satellite has 4 bands in the visible a...

use of remote sensing to monitor crop residue coverage and tillage intensity

satellite imagery was used as a rapid and spatially explicit method to delineate crop residue cover and to estimate the use and intensity of conservation tillage. the potential of multispectral high-spatial resolution of worldview-2 local data was evaluated using 11 satellite spectral indices and linear spectral unmixing analysis (lsua). experimental plots were examined; residue cover was measu...

detection of hydrothermal potential zones using remote sensing satellite data in ramand region, qazvin province, iran

ramand region is a part of qazvin province located in south west of buin-zahra. in this region, hydrothermal alterations have been extended within magmatic occurrences and therefore are mostly detectable by remote sensing techniques. altered facies could be well enhanced after applying selective principle component analysis (spca), least squares fitting method (ls-fit) and spectral angel mapper...
