The panchromatic and multispectral (PMS) sensor is an optical imaging sensor aboard the Gao Fen-1 (GF-1) satellite. This work describes an approach to validate the calibration coefficients of the PMS sensors based on the image data of the Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI). Two image pairs, one obtained over the Dunhuang test site and the other over the Golmud test site, were used in this ...

Abstract Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon is a particular climate change impact in urban areas that can trigger adverse effects on environmental conditions. This effect usually worsened by increasing anthropogenic activities. While the of UHI has mostly been studied metropolitans around world, few studies are presented investigating outcome mid-sized cities. study aims to assess spatial distr...

Land Surface Temperature (LST) is average temperature of an element the exact surface Earth calculated from measured radiance which depends on albedo, vegetation cover, and soil moisture. can affect human discomfort, health problem, higher energy bill further reduce habitability urban sub area as Makassar city has been recently undergoing massive development. This study tries to monitor estimat...

Aerosol is an essential parameter for assessing the atmospheric environmental quality, and accurate monitoring of aerosol optical depth (AOD) great significance in climate research protection. Based on Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) images MODIS09A1 surface reflectance products under clear skies with limited cloud cover, we retrieved AODs Nanjing City from 2017 to 2018 using combined D...
