REMOTE SENSING OF WATER QUALITY IN LAKE ERIE USING MODIS IMAGERY DATA
… and turbidity information for Lake Erie using MODIS imagery data. An accurate atmospheric correction is very important for remote sensing applications of imagery for water quality analysis, since the spectral energy from the water surface is much less than from the land surface. The existing …

Analysis of Dryland Forest Phenology using Fused Landsat and MODIS Satellite Imagery
… m Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) surface reflectance datasets and assessed via correlation analysis with temporally coincident Landsat-5 imagery. The accuracy of the results (0.61 < R2 < 0.94) justified subsequent use of STARFM data in this environment, particularly when the …
