The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer, one of five science instruments aboard NASA’s Terra spacecraft, was launched into earth orbit in December 1999. Acquisition of earth imagery began in February 2000, and the quality of the data is excellent. Overall, MISR has been performing superbly, though the instrument exhibits several idiosyncrasies, some of which were anticipated prior to launch. ...

This paper presents a set of spectral reflectance data of numerous surface cover types of the Big Pine Creek watershed in California’s Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. Ground cover vegetative types include several samples of deciduous broad leaf and narrow leaf trees, needle leaf conifers, sages, and needle leaf and broad leaf shrubs. In addition, several litter samples as well as soil and rock...

A Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) longwave image of the cold air outbreak (left panel) and snapshots of simulations of five different mesoscale models. Lighter colors correspond to lower longwave radiation (colder temperatures). Overall the large-scale features are well reproduced and most models simulate a transition to a cumulus regime with a cellular structure. See the ...
