در این مقاله، به‌منظور رفع برخی محدودیت‌های شناسایی ساختمان تصاویر چندطیفی، از دادة SAR به‌منزلة مکمل استفاده می‌شود. روش پیشنهادی، برای استفادة هم‌زمان اطلاعات مفید رادار و استراتژی مبتنی‌بر تلفیق تصاویر، با هدف ساختمان، مطرح همچنین، ازآن‌جاکه انتخاب ویژگی نقش بسزایی طبقه‌بندی عوارض دارد، اغلب روش‌های مرسوم رایج زمینه، مانند الگوریتم ژنتیک، نیازمند داده‌های آموزشی‌اند؛ اما دردسترس‌نبودن همیشگی...

Research has shown that remote sensing in both the optical and microwave domain has the capability of estimating vegetation water content (VWC). Though lower in spatial resolution than MODIS optical bands, AMSR-E microwave measurements are typically less affected by clouds, water vapor, aerosol or solar illumination, making them complementary to MODIS real time measurements over regions of clou...

An understanding of the surface albedo of high latitudes is crucial for climate change studies. MODIS albedo retrievals flagged as high quality compare well with in situ Greenland Climate Network (GC-Net) measurements but cover too little area to fully characterize Greenland's albedo in non-summer months. In contrast, poor quality MODIS retrievals provide adequate spatio-temporal coverage, but ...

Aerosol optical thicknesses (AOTs) by the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spetroradiometer (MODIS) on-board Aqua and Terra satellites, and ground-based measurements of PM10 mass concentrations, collected over three years (2006–2008) at two suburban sites which are 20 km apart, are correlated to assess the use of satellite data for regional air quality studies over Southeastern Italy, in the central...

The shortwave broadband MODIS albedo has higher uncertainties over snow-covered land and at large Solar Zenith Angle (SZA). We have documented a systematic negative bias for SZA>55-60° in Greenland. This study uses in situ data from the Greenland Climate Network (GC-Net) to characterize and empirically correct the MODIS snow albedo (MCD43C) bias at large SZA and thereby remediate the implied bi...

Airborne sunphotometer measurements acquired by the NASA Ames Airborne Tracking Sunphotometer (AATS-14) aboard the NASA P-3 research aircraft are used to evaluate dark-target over-land retrievals of extinction aerosol optical depth (AOD) from spatially and temporally near-coincident measurements by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) during the summer 2008 Arctic Research ...
