Investigating the potential of remote sensing for long-term limnological analysis at pan-continental scales
… for the purposes of this project. Using NOAA AVHRR, Terra/Aqua MODIS and field data from lakes that represented three main lake groups, the spatial and temporal reliability of 26 existing water quality estimation algorithms was assessed. Following this, the best performing algorithms were …

Specific applications of satelite remote sensing to the Benguela ecosystem
… utilise high resolution satellite data, from the NOAA AVHRR and OrbView-2 SeaWiFS sensors, to investigate the upper layer dynamics of the Benguela ecosystem in more detailed space and time scales than previously undertaken. The standard for SeaWiFS bio-optical algorithms and processing parameters …

Application de la télédétection à l'analyse de la variabilité climatique des régions boréales et subarctiques du Canada et à la validation du modèle régional canadien du climat
… of this thesis deals with the interpretation of NOAA-AVHRR (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) time series at the continental spatial scale.The data constitute an archive of decadal or weekly composite spanning over two decades which was …

A Phenological Comparison of NDVI Products within Contiguous United States
… Vegetation Index (NDVI) products derived from NOAA AVHRR, MODIS, and SPOT VGT sensors. NDVI products from different instruments vary in spatial resolution, temporal coverage and spectral range. As a result, multi-sensor NDVI products are rarely used in a single phenological study. In order to …

Trends in vegetation productivity and seasonality for Namaqualand, South Africa between 1986 and 2011: an approach combining remote sensing and repeat photography
… repeat photography and satellite data from NOAA-AVHRR and TERRA-MODIS sensors as well as baseline climatology data from the CRU TS 3.2 data set this study aimed to: (1) Determine the critical pathways of inter-annual and intra-seasonal vegetation change in the Namaqualand; (2) Investigate …

Recent changes in land use and productivity in agro-pastoral Inner Mongolia, China
… model. The model, driven by a combination of NOAA AVHRR data and climatic data, has been used to map monthly Gross Primary Production (GPP) for the period 1982-1999. Though the high inter-annual variability in primary production undermines the identification of significant trends, it is …

A procedure for the computation of sea surface advection velocities from satellite thermal band imagery, with applications to the South East Atlantic Ocean
… sea surface advection velocities from pairs of NOAA AVHRR infrared images. The procedure was designed for application to the oceanic regions around South Africa and cognisance had to be taken of restrictions imposed by the specific oceanographic conditions, availability of satellite data, as …

Aplicación de satélites oceanográficos al estudio del impacto del cambio global sobre los ecosistemas pelágicos del Atlántico Norte
… a partir de las observaciones de los satélites NOAA-AVHRR fueron coherentes con el proceso de cambio climático global. La respuesta fue diferente en intensidad y en su distribución espacial entre estadísticos representando cambios en la temperatura media, el ciclo estacional y el período de …

Use of soft computing pattern recognition techniques to analyse tropical cyclones from meteorological satellite data
… intensity. The algorithms were trained using NOAA AVHRR, GOES, and Meteosat satellite data at spatial resolution of ~4km and ~8km. The training data resulted in fuzzy membership function which allowed the vagueness of cloud patterns to be classified objectively. The algorithms were validated …

Landscape scale measurement and monitoring of biodiversity in the Australian rangelands
… net primary productivity was measured from NOAA AVHRR integrated NDVI; rainfall use efficiency (biomass per unit rainfall) was calculated from rainfall data collected at climate stations and the net primary productivity measure. Finally, the surrogates were evaluated against the index of …
