Open Source Riverscapes: Analyzing the Corridor of the Naryn River in Kyrgyzstan Based on Open Access Data
TL;DR: In this paper, an approach for river corridor mapping based on open access data only, in order to foster large-scale analysis of river systems in data-scarce areas is proposed.

Mapping Forest Disturbances between 1987–2016 Using All Available Time Series Landsat TM/ETM+ Imagery: Developing a Reliable Methodology for Georgia, United States
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and tested a reliable methodology for statewide tracking of forest disturbances in Georgia, and discussed the use and implications of the information derived from the forest disturbance map.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing long-term forest disturbance history and its drivers in the Ning-Zhen Mountains, Jiangsu Province of eastern China using yearly Landsat observations (1987–2011)
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used a new version of VCT algorithm built upon the Landsat time series stacks (LTSS) consisting of yearly image acquisitions to map forest disturbance history from 1987 to 2011 over the Ning-Zhen Mountains, Jiangsu Province of east China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying local fire regimes using the Landsat data-archive: a conceptual framework to derive detailed fire pattern metrics from pixel-level information
TL;DR: The capacity of the Landsat data archive when coupled with a recently developed fire mapping approach and a robust spatial language to characterize and compare tree mortality patterns across the boreal plains ecozone, Canada is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
The resilience of coastal marshes to hurricanes: The potential impact of excess nutrients.
TL;DR: The results highlight the resilience of coastal marsh ecosystems against hurricanes, but also underline the profound synergistic effects of climatic and anthropogenic factors on the sustainability of coastal ecosystems, which have important implications for coastal management under the current climate trend.

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.
