A standard method for assessing the accuracy of fire mapping derived from NOAA-AVHRR imagery was applied to five Landsat scenes sampling different regions across northern Australia. The procedure involved the undertaking of: (1) detailed ground verification exercises (using ground and aerial transects) at the time of Landsat overpasses; (2) assessment of the accuracy of fire mapping derived fro...

In this research, the historic data of NOAA /AVHRR NDVI (1981-2000) and the anomaly vegetation index were utilized. Monitoring and analyzing the winter wheat drought situation in the pre-green up period, green up period, heading period and filling period from 1997 to 2000 in Hebei province, Discussing the effects of drought situation in the key growing periods on the winter wheat yield, Taking ...

NOAA/NESDIS/Center for Satellite Applications and Research has been reprocessing and recalibrating the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) observations to generate atmospheric temperature dataset with climate quality. So far, observations from the MSU channels 2, 3, and 4 for NOAA 10, 11, 12, and 14 have been recalibrated using a recently-developed SNO (simultaneously nadir overpasses) sequential non...

Total Precipitable Water (TPW) in a column of atmosphere is one of the important parameters useful for a number of meteorological applications. In the present study, a neural network based algorithm has been developed for the retrieval of TPW using NOAA-16 AMSU measurements. The TPW has been derived experimentally using NOAA-16 AMSU measurements locally received from High Resolution Picture Tra...
