Author:Ritchie, M; Das, SonaliDate:Sep 2015This paper reviews some data issues and associated techniques which have been implemented in the field of remote sensing for the identification of wetlands. Wetlands are found in diverse geographic areas, however in situ measurements from ...Read more
Author:Sun, Z; Gebremichael, M; Wang, Q; Wang, J; Sammis, TW; Nickless, ADate:Sep 2013Net radiation is a key component of the energy balance, whose estimation accuracy has an impact on energy flux estimates from satellite data. In typical remote sensing evapotranspiration (ET) algorithms, the outgoing shortwave and longwave ...Read more
Author:Mkasi, Hlaluku W; Basappa Ayanna, Manjunath; Pratt, Lawrence E; Roro, Kittessa TDate:Jun 2018The amount of available solar irradiance is the most important parameter to determine solar energy generation for any given location. Satellite-based irradiance data is often used as a basis for predicting the energy generation for any location, ...Read more
Author:Wessels, Konrad J; Prince, SDate:2007Desertification is defined by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) as ‘land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas (dry-lands) resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human ...Read more
Author:Kleynhans, W; Olivier, JC; Salmon, BP; Wessels, Konrad J; Van den Bergh, FDate:2010A method for detecting land cover change using NDVI timeseries data derived fromMODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite data is proposed. The algorithm acts as a per pixel change alarm and takes as input the NDVI ...Read more
