Mapping Winter Crops in China with Multi-Source Satellite Imagery and Phenology-Based Algorithm
TL;DR: This study proposes a method for compositing the multi-temporal NDVI, in order to map winter crop planting areas with the Landsat-7 and -8 and Sentinel-2 optical images, and indicates that this method is effective for the large-scale mapping of winter crops.

Land claim and loss of tidal flats in the Yangtze Estuary
Ying Chen,Jinwei Dong,Xiangming Xiao,Xiangming Xiao,Min Zhang,Bo Tian,Yunxuan Zhou,Bo Li,Zhijun Ma +8 more
TL;DR: An automatic algorithm is developed that estimates the area of tidal flat areas in the Yangtze Estuary based on the Land Surface Water Index and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index to highlight the need for better coastal planning and management based on tidal flat dynamics.

Mapping Brazilian savanna vegetation gradients with Landsat time series
Marcel Schwieder,Pedro J. Leitão,Mercedes M. C. Bustamante,Laerte Guimarães Ferreira,Andreas Rabe,Patrick Hostert +5 more
TL;DR: Dense Landsat time series are explored to derive phenological information for mapping vegetation gradients in the Cerrado and show that it is possible to map the main spatial patterns of the observed physiognomies based on their phenological differences, emphasizing the need for remote sensing based time series analyses at fine scales.

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.
