A radiative transfer model-based method for the estimation of grassland aboveground biomass
Xingwen Quan,Binbin He,Marta Yebra,Marta Yebra,Changming Yin,Zhanmang Liao,Xueting Zhang,Xing Li +7 more
TL;DR: The RTM-based method offers greater robustness and reproducibility to estimate grassland AGB at large scale without the need to collect field measurements and therefore is considered the most promising methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Impact of Hurricane Maria on the Vegetation of Dominica and Puerto Rico Using Multispectral Remote Sensing
Tangao Hu,Ronald B. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: Multitemporal Landsat 8 OLI and Sentinel-2 data are used to investigate vegetation damage on Dominica and Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria, and related influencing factors are analyzed, providing insight into the sensitivity and recovery of vegetation after a major land-falling hurricane.
Journal ArticleDOI
An automatic method for screening clouds and cloud shadows in optical satellite image time series in cloudy regions
Xiaolin Zhu,Eileen H. Helmer +1 more
TL;DR: A new Automatic Time-Series Analysis method to screen clouds and cloud shadows in multi-temporal optical images, which needs fewer predefined parameters, does not require a thermal infrared band, and is more suitable for areas with persistent clouds is presented.

Mapping Plantations in Myanmar by Fusing Landsat-8, Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 Data along with Systematic Error Quantification
Ate Poortinga,K. Tenneson,Aurélie Shapiro,Quyen Nquyen,K. S. Aung,Farrukh Chishtie,David Saah +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated and concluded that error quantification is an essential step in land cover classification and land cover change detection and presents a path for improving present assessments for sustainable supply chain analyses and associated recommendations.

An analysis of Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 underflight data and the implications for time series investigations
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral reflectance of cirrus clouds in the underflight data that were omitted from Landsat 7 cloud masks but were detected in Landsat 8's cloud mask due to the use of the newly added cirrus band.

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.
