TL;DR: In this article, the specific surface area (SSA) of snow samples was measured using CH4 adsorption at 77 K, and a good correlation between the SSA and the snow spectral albedo in the short wave infrared (SWIR) was found.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral reflectance of olive leaves in response to different degrees of drought was measured using 16 reference wavelengths, from visible to SWIR regions, which are sensitive to both fast-developing and slow developing stresses and were used to develop an algorithm, the Relative Reflectance Increment (RRI), that was linearly related to changes in relative water content.

TL;DR: In this article, a Mediterranean vegetated coastal area has been classified on the basis of multi-temporal TM images and accurate field data, and a major improvement in the spatial resolution of spectral data was obtained by merging TM and SPOT-P by a RGB-IHS transformation that allowed an overall accuracy in the classification of 85 per cent to be achieved.

TL;DR: The Snow-noSnow software, designed to automatically detect the extension of snow cover from webcam images, was tested on images collected on Alps (ARPAV webcam network) and on Apennine in a pilot station properly equipped for this project by CNR-IIA.

TL;DR: The spectral analysis shows that air-fall deposits are characterized by low reflectance values besides variations in grain size, which distinguishes them from other surface materials, and represents a potentially powerful tool for the exploration of extraterrestrial volcanic surfaces.
