Synthesis of Multispectral Bands from Hyperspectral Data: Validation Based on Images Acquired by AVIRIS, Hyperion, ALI, and ETM+
TL;DR: Spectral synthesis of multispectral images from hyperspectral data is a key part of the ART software and is compared with images collected near-coincidentally by the Landsat 7 ETM+ and the EO-1 ALI instruments.

Characterization of Gaseous Effluents from Modeling of LWIR Hyperspectral Measurements
TL;DR: In this article, a model platform was developed for the investigation of the passive outgoing radiance from a scene containing an effluent plume layer, and the effects of various scene and model parameters including ambient and plume temperatures, plume concentration, as well as the surface temperature and emissivity on the outgoing radiances were estimated.

A spatial desertification indicator for Mediterranean arid rangelands: a case study in Algeria
Slim Saïdi,G. Gintzburger +1 more
TL;DR: A methodology is described which estimates a Spatial Rain-Use Efficiency Index (SRUEI) and its potential use to evaluate rangeland condition at a large scale, based on an Aboveground Net Primary Production map generated from field herbage mass measurements and a rainfall spatial distribution map derived from local elevation–rainfall gradients.

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.
