Mapping hydrothermal minerals using remotely sensed reflectance spectroscopy data from Landsat
TL;DR: The use of remote sensing satellite images for geological mapping and mineral exploration usually involves studying the physicochemical properties of rocks and weathering soils, such as mineralogy, landforms, geochemical signatures, and the spatiall distribution of lineaments as mentioned in this paper.

Measurement and Correction of Atmospheric Effects at Different Altitudes for Remote Sensing of Sun-Induced Fluorescence in Oxygen Absorption Bands
TL;DR: The results show that the MODTRAN 4 is able to simulate oxygen band depth variations at moderate spectral resolution (i.5-1 nm) and can be used to compute atmospheric and environmental factors for corrections of airborne measurements of oxygen band profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of atmospheric conditions for analysis of surface temperature variability derived from landscape-scale thermography
TL;DR: The distinct effect of atmospheric conditions and related radiative processes along the measurement path on LSTcam is shown, proving the necessity to correct L STcam data on landscape scale, despite their relatively low measurement distances compared to remotely sensed data.

Classifying grass-dominated habitats from remotely sensed data: The influence of spectral resolution, acquisition time and the vegetation classification system on accuracy and thematic resolution
Ute Bradter,Jerome O'Connell,William E. Kunin,Caroline W.H. Boffey,Richard J. Ellis,Tim G. Benton +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated which of the following choices improved classification accuracies at various thematic resolutions: 1) Hyperspectral data versus data with a reduced spectral resolution of eight and 13 bands, which were simulated from the hyperspectral dataset.

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.
