The compositing technique used to derive global vegetation index (NDVI) from the NOAA-AVHRR radiances, reduces the residual effect of water vapor and aerosol on the NDVI . The reduction in the atmospheric effect is shown using a comprehensive measured data set for desert conditions, and a simulation for grass with continental aerosol. A statistical analysis of the probability of occurrence of a...

[1] The impact of smoke aerosols generated from biomass burning activities in Southeast Asia on the total (i.e., direct and indirect effects) reflected solar and emitted thermal radiation from clouds was investigated using satellite data. We combine narrowband radiance measurements, from ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths (e.g., SeaWiFS and TOMS), with broadband irradiance measurements (e...

The summer season of 2003 in Continental Portugal was by far the worst in what respects both to the number of forest fires and the amount of burnt area. In the present work, burnt area monitoring was performed using NOAA/AVHRR imagery by means of a neuro-fuzzy (ANFIS) algorithm that was applied on an operational basis to the surface of the country. Validation of obtained results was performed b...

Inland surface models, which are used to evaluate the role of vegetation in the context of global climate change and variability, LAI and FAPAR play a key role, specifically with respect to the carbon and water cycles. The AVHRR-based LAI/FAPAR dataset offers daily temporal resolution, an improvement over previous products. This climate data record is based on a carefully calibrated and correct...

The archives of imagery and modeled data products derived from remote sensing programs with high temporal resolution provide powerful resources for characterizing inter- and intra-annual environmental dynamics. The impressive depth of available time-series from such missions (e.g., MODIS and AVHRR) affords new opportunities for improving data usability by leveraging spatial and temporal informa...

We propose a generalized split-window method for retrieving land-surface temperature (LST) from AVHRR and MODIS data. Accurate radiative transfer simulations show that the coefficients in the split-window algorithm for LST must vary with the viewing angle, if we are to achieve a LST accuracy of about 1 K for the whole scan swath range (1t5.5" from nadir) and for the ranges of surface temperatur...

Spectral albedo may be derived from atmospherically corrected, cloud-cleared multiangular reflectance observations through the inversion of a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model and angular integration. This paper outlines an algorithm suitable for this task that makes use of kernel-based BRDF models. Intrinsic land surface albedos are derived, which may be used to deri...

A NOAA/AVHRR dual-channel method over land is proposed to simultaneously retrieve aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 0.55 μm, and surface reflectance 0.63 0.85 μm. Compared with previous well-established one-channel retrieval algorithms, this algorithm takes advantage of the ratio between μm in an attempt account for effect induced by bidirectional distribution function (BRDF). This cannot be negli...
