The effect of atmospheric and topographic correction methods on land cover classification accuracy
TL;DR: Results of this bi-temporal study indicated that the topographic component had a higher influence on classification accuracy than the atmospheric component and that it is worthwhile to invest in both atmospheric and topographic corrections in a multi- Temporal study.

Radiative transfer codes for atmospheric correction and aerosol retrieval: intercomparison study.
TL;DR: Four atmospheric radiative transfer codes incorporated into different satellite data processing algorithms are compared, namely, 6SV1.1 (second simulation of a satellite signal in the solar spectrum, vector, version 1.1), RT3 (radiative transfer), MODTRAN (moderate resolution atmospheric transmittance and radiance code), and SHARM (spherical harmonics).

Oliver Schneising,Michael Buchwitz,John P. Burrows,Heinrich Bovensmann,Peter Bergamaschi,Wouter Peters +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the latest version of WFM-DOAS, version 1.0, has been significantly improved with respect to its accuracy compared to the previous versions while essentially maintaining its high processing speed.

Does Independent Component Analysis Play a Role in Unmixing Hyperspectral Data
TL;DR: The accuracy of these methods tends to improve with the increase of the signature variability, of the number of endmembers, and of the signal-to-noise ratio, and it is concluded that there are always endmembers incorrectly unmixed.

Environmental controls of giant-kelp biomass in the Santa Barbara Channel, California
TL;DR: In this article, the role of several environmental drivers in explaining temporal and spatial patterns in the abundance of giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera in the Santa Barbara Channel between 1984 and 2009 was assessed.

TL;DR: The HITRAN molecular absorption database as mentioned in this paper contains line parameters for 31 species and their isotopomers that are significant for terrestrial atmospheric studies, including chlorofluorocarbons and other molecular species that are not amenable to line-by-line representation.

A description of the correlated k distribution method for modeling nongray gaseous absorption, thermal emission, and multiple scattering in vertically inhomogeneous atmospheres
Andrew A. Lacis,Valdar Oinas +1 more
TL;DR: A radiative transfer method for treating nongray gaseous absorption and thermal emission in vertically inhomogeneous multiple scattering atmospheres is described in this paper, where probability density distributions of absorption coefficient strength are derived from line-by-line calculations to construct line-By-line and band model based k distributions.
