The empirical approach of remote sensing has a proven capability to provide timely and
accurate information on inland and near-coastal transitional waters. This article gives a …

Daily distribution of the aerosol optical thickness and columnar mass concentration will be
derived over the continents, from the EOS moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer …

Since first light in early 2000, operational global quantitative retrievals of aerosol properties
over land have been made from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) …

Air temperature is an important descriptor of terrestrial environmental conditions across the
earth. Standard meteorological observations generally provide reasonable descriptions of …

Optical Properties and Remote Sensing of Inland and Coastal Waters discusses the
methodology and the theoretical basis of remote sensing of water. It presents physical …

A common radiometric response is required for quantitative analysis of multiple satellite
images of a scene acquired on different dates with different sensors. We describe a …

This paper describes a radiative transfer basis of the algorithm MAIAC which performs
simultaneous retrievals of atmospheric aerosol and bidirectional surface reflectance from the …

The radiometric normalization of multitemporal satellite optical images of the same terrain is
often necessary for land cover change detection, eg, relative differences. In previous studies …

To extract quantitative information from the Enhanced Thematic Mapper-Plus (ETM+)
imagery accurately, atmospheric correction is a necessary step. After reviewing historical …

The following document is a description of the atmospheric correction algorithm from which
the surface reflectances will be calculated for MODIS channels 1 to 7: 0.648 µm, 0.858 µm …
