ASTER night-time thermal infrared data: interpreting subsurface features from high resolution data

نویسنده

چکیده

Night-time thermal infrared (NTIR) data provides an additional and potentially valuable source of information for mineral explorers. This technology is used for locating palaeocoastal heavy mineral sands and palaeochannels for uranium and placer deposits. To date, the most frequently used thermal imagery is derived from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) meteorological satellite. The 1.1 km spatial resolution

Spaceborne observations of the 2000 Bezymianny, Kamchatka eruption: the integration of high-resolution ASTER data into near real-time monitoring using AVHRR

Since its launch in December 1999, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument has been observing over 1300 of the world’s volcanoes during the day and night and at different times of the year. At the onset of an eruption, the temporal frequency of these regularly scheduled observations can be increased to as little as 1–3 days at higher latitudes. Howe...
