Widespread global increase in intense lake phytoplankton blooms since the 1980s

TL;DR: Three decades of high-resolution Landsat 5 satellite imagery are used to investigate long-term trends in intense summertime near-surface phytoplankton blooms for 71 large lakes globally, revealing a worldwide exacerbation of bloom conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current status of Landsat program, science, and applications

TL;DR: The programmatic developments and institutional context for the Landsat program and the unique ability of Landsat to meet the needs of national and international programs are described and the key trends in Landsat science are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Change detection using landsat time series: A review of frequencies, preprocessing, algorithms, and applications

TL;DR: It is observed that the more recent the study, the higher the frequency of Landsat time series used and some of the widely-used change detection algorithms were discussed, including thresholding, differencing, segmentation, trajectory classification, and regression.

A Landsat surface reflectance dataset for North America, 1990-2000

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

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.

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.
