Declining greenness in Arctic-boreal lakes
C. Kuhn,David Butman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed time series of 30m Landsat growing season composites to quantify trends in lake greenness for >4 × 105 waterbodies in boreal and Arctic western North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring Irrigation Using Landsat Observations and Climate Data over Regional Scales in the Murray-Darling Basin
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used three vegetation indices derived from Landsat images to calculate crop coefficients (K c ) based on multiple published relationships, which were combined through the FAO56 methodology using gridded rainfall and two reference evapotranspiration (E T o ) products to find actual evapOTranspiration as A E T = E T o × K c, providing six E t o - K c combinations.

A Cloud Detection Approach Based on Hybrid Multispectral Features with Dynamic Thresholds for GF-1 Remote Sensing Images
Xiong Quan,Wang Yuan,Diyou Liu,Sijing Ye,Du Zhenbo,Liu Wei,Jianxi Huang,Wei Su,Dehai Zhu,Xiaochuang Yao,Xiaodong Zhang +10 more
TL;DR: The results show that the method proposed not only has high accuracy, but also has advantages in terms of time consumption, which could serve as a reference for those who are interested in the cloud detection of remote sensing images.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Three Landsat TM Compositing Methods: A Case Study Using Modeled Tree Canopy Cover
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of using more easily automated image composites techniques, such as median Landsat-5 image composite or maximum NDVI Landsat 5 image composite, as alternatives to model II regression mosaics for the modeling of PTCC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Geospatial and Temporal Characteristics for Hispaniola’s Lake Azuei and Enriquillo Using Landsat Imagery
TL;DR: This paper used Landsat imagery for water body identification to create a novel 36-year surface area extent time series for lakes Azuei and Enriquillo aimed at illuminating the dramatic temporal changes of these two lakes not just at yearly but at monthly or even sub-monthly scales.

A Landsat surface reflectance dataset for North America, 1990-2000
Jeffrey G. Masek,Eric Vermote,Nazmi Saleous,Robert E. Wolfe,Forrest G. Hall,Karl F. Huemmrich,Feng Gao,J. Kutler,Teng-Kui Lim +8 more
TL;DR: Initial comparisons with ground-based optical thickness measurements and simultaneously acquired MODIS imagery indicate comparable uncertainty in Landsat surface reflectance compared to the standard MODIS reflectance product.

Discriminating clear sky from clouds with MODIS
Steven A. Ackerman,Kathleen I. Strabala,W. Paul Menzel,Richard A. Frey,Christopher C. Moeller,Liam E. Gumley +5 more
TL;DR: The MODIS cloud mask algorithm as discussed by the authors uses several cloud detection tests to indicate a level of confidence that the MEDIS is observing clear skies, which is ancillary input to MEDIS land, ocean, and atmosphere science algorithms to suggest processing options.

Calculation of radiative fluxes from the surface to top of atmosphere based on ISCCP and other global data sets: Refinements of the radiative transfer model and the input data
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors used a more advanced NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) radiative transfer model and improved ISCCP cloud climatology and ancillary data sets.

Spectral signature of alpine snow cover from the Landsat Thematic Mapper.
Jeff Dozier,Jeff Dozier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral signatures of the Landsat TM images of the Sierra Nevada were analyzed to distinguish several classes of snow from other surface covers, and a number of TM images were used for automatic analysis of alpine snow cover.
