Prediction of Forest Attributes with Field Plots, Landsat, and a Sample of Lidar Strips: A Case Study on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska

Creator:: Strunk, Jacob L., Temesgen, Hailemariam, Andersen, Hans-Erik, and Packalen, Petteri
Abstract:: In this study we demonstrate that sample strips of lidar in combination with Landsat can be used to predict forest attributes more precisely than from Landsat alone. While lidar and Landsat can each be used alone in vegetation mapping, the cost of wall to wall lidar may exceed users' financial...

An overview of MODIS capabilities for ocean science observations

Creator:: Esaias, Wayne E., Abbott, Mark R., Barton, Ian, Brown, Otis B., Campbell, Janet W., Carder, Kendall L., Clark, Dennis K., Evans, Robert H., Hoge, Frank E., Gordon, Howard R., Balch, William M., Letelier, Richard, and Minnett, Peter J.
Abstract:: The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) will add a significant new capability for investigating the 70% of the Earth's surface that is covered by oceans, in addition to contributing to the continuation of a decadal scale time series necessary for climate change assessment in the oceans. Sensor capabilities of particular...

Ocean wavenumber estimation from wave-resolving time series imagery

Creator:: Plant, Nathaniel G., Holland, K. Todd, and Haller, Merrick C.
Abstract:: We review several approaches that have been used to estimate ocean surface gravity wavenumbers from wave-resolving remotely sensed image sequences. Two fundamentally different approaches that utilize these data exist. A power spectral density approach identifies wavenumbers where image intensity variance is maximized. Alternatively, a cross-spectral correlation approach identifies wavenumbers where...

Analytical framework for modeling scale-related variabilities in remote sensing

Creator:: Chen, Chaur-fong
Abstract:: A general analytical framework was established to investigate the scale-related variabilities in remote sensing. The variabilities were studied first by investigating canopy structure, canopy interaction with light, relation between spectral reflectance and plant phenological parameters. The variabilities simulated by the plant model were compared with the actual spectral data acquired...

Remote sensing of forest aboveground biomass using the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System

Creator:: Pflugmacher, Dirk
Abstract:: Accurate estimates of forest aboveground biomass are needed to reduce uncertainties in the terrestrial carbon flux. The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) onboard the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite is now the first spaceborne lidar sensor that will provide global estimates of vegetation height. This study investigated the utility...

Mapping vegetation using landsat TM and ETM+ in Eritrea

Creator:: Iyob, Biniam
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to examine vegetation and vegetation change in Eritrea over a period from the mid 1980s to 2002 using satellite remote sensing, and relate observed changes to the recent history of drought and war in the region. Specific objectives were (1) to examine vegetation change...

Microwave scattering from surf zone waves

Creator:: Catalán Mondaca, Patricio A.
Abstract:: Wave breaking in the surf zone is an important forcing mechanism on the generation of nearshore currents and in the driving of sediment transport. At the same time, wave breaking can have significant spatial and temporal variability that needs to be accounted for in the description of nearshore processes. Remote...

Spatial analysis of potato canopy nitrogen content using remotely sensed reflectance measurements

Creator:: Stangel, David E.
Abstract:: This study sought to explore the relationship between spatial scale and canopy chemistry through the use of remotely sensed videography data and total nitrogen content of potato petioles. A range of broad band spectral indices were employed along with standard red and green wavelengths to define an optimum scale or...

Remote sensing of radiation stress gradients from optical imagery

Creator:: Killian, Jason R.
Abstract:: Wave-induced circulation is the defining characteristic of the nearshore. Within this region, the constant feedback cycle between incoming waves, wave-generated currents, and the mobile sediment bed is responsible for the evolution of complex patterns in nearshore and beach morphology. Central to our understanding of this system is knowledge of the...

Environmental Remote Sensing with Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Creator:: Burnett, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUASs) equipped with optical sensors are capableof remotely sensing landscapes and wildlife at spatial and temporal resolutions that werepreviously inaccessible due to technical and budgetary limitations. Conventional remotesensing and photogrammetric workflows can be applied to the resulting high resolution imageryto facilitate new types of scientific inquiry....
