Characteristics of Landsat 8 OLI-derived NDVI by comparison with
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the characteristics of Landsat 8 OLI-derived NDVI against Landsat 7 ETM+ by cross-comparison and by comparing with MODIS and Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI)-derived NDVIs as well as in-situ NDVI measurements.

Ready-to-Use Methods for the Detection of Clouds, Cirrus, Snow, Shadow, Water and Clear Sky Pixels in Sentinel-2 MSI Images
TL;DR: Several ready-to-use classification algorithms which are all based on a publicly available database of manually classified Sentinel-2A images are presented which drastically reduce the amount of time needed to update the algorithms when new images are added to the database.

Geospatial analysis of land use change in the Savannah River Basin using Google Earth Engine
Hamdi A. Zurqani,Hamdi A. Zurqani,Christopher J. Post,Elena A. Mikhailova,Mark A. Schlautman,Julia L. Sharp +5 more
TL;DR: The results not only indicate land use change, but also demonstrate the advantage of utilizing Google Earth Engine and the public archive database in its platform to track and monitor this change over time.

Urban heat island impacts on plant phenology: intra-urban variability and response to land cover
Samuel C. Zipper,Jason Schatz,Aditya Singh,Christopher J. Kucharik,Philip A. Townsend,Steven P. Loheide +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the impacts of the urban heat island (UHI) on plant phenology in the city of Madison, Wisconsin for the 2012-2014 growing seasons, finding that impervious cover in the area surrounding each temperature sensor explains >50% of observed variability in phenology.

Investigating the relationship between local climate zone and land surface temperature using an improved WUDAPT methodology – A case study of Yangtze River Delta, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated how LST represents the UHI intensity determined by using an improved method of the World Urban Database and Portal Tool (WUDAPT) to develop the LCZ map of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) megaregion.

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.
