Vertical sounding measurements within stratocumuli during two aircraft field campaigns, Marine Stratus/stratocumulus Experiment (MASE) and Physics of Stratocumulus Top (POST), are used to validate Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud optical thickness (COT), cloud liquid water path (LWP), and cloud effective radius (re). In situ COT, LWP, and re were calculated using 5 m ...

ضرورت دسترسی به کاربردهای وسیع تصاویر ابرطیفی سبب توسعة سیستم‌های تصویربرداری نوآورانه و اقتصادی در ثبت این شده است. به‌منظور استفاده از تصاویر، لازم است ارتباط هندسی دقیقی میان آنها فضای زمین برقرار شود فرایند نیازمند نقاط کنترلی بسیاری نکته راهکارهای اصلاح منطبق با ساختار هریک دوربین‌ها را بارز می‌کند. سنجندة (nm 400-1000) BaySpec OCI-F یکی نوآورانه‌ای که هندسة پوش‌بروم دریافت سنجنده، علاوه‌ب...

Monthly measurements of leaf area index (LAI) and the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR) taken at approximately monthly intervals were collected along three 750 m transects in a Kalahari woodland near Mongu in western Zambia. These data were compared with MODIS NDVI (MOD13, Collection 3) and MODIS LAI and fAPAR products (MOD15, Collection 3) over a 2 year period (2...

The aims are to validate and assess the performances of MODIS gross primary production (MODIS-GPP) and evapotranspiration (MODIS-ET) products in China’s different land cover types and their sensitivity to remote sensing input data. In this study, MODIS-GPP and -ET are evaluated using flux derived/measured data from eight sites of ChinaFLUX. Results show that MODIS-GPP generally underestimates G...

A recent revision of the MODIS Land-Surface Temperature Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (LST ATBD) was completed in April. A paper on the vicarious calibration of MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS) thermal infrared channels based on the MAS data and field measurement data acquired in the field campaign conducted in Mono Lake, California, on March 10, 1998, was submitted in February, revised in...
