Consistency of L4 TM absolute calibration with respect to the L5 TM sensor based on near-simultaneous image acquisition Consistency of L4 TM absolute calibration with respect to the L5 TM sensor based on near-simultaneous image acquisition
The Landsat archive provides more than 35 years of uninterrupted multispectral remotely sensed data of Earth observations. Since 1972, Landsat missions have carried different types of sensors, from the Return Beam Vidicon (RBV) camera to the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+). However, the Thematic Mapper (TM) sensors on Landsat 4 (L4) and Landsat 5 (L5), launched in 1982 and 1984...

Adequacy of satellite derived rainfall data for stream flow modeling Adequacy of satellite derived rainfall data for stream flow modeling
Floods are the most common and widespread climate-related hazard on Earth. Flood forecasting can reduce the death toll associated with floods. Satellites offer effective and economical means for calculating areal rainfall estimates in sparsely gauged regions. However, satellite-based rainfall estimates have had limited use in flood forecasting and hydrologic stream flow modeling because...

Analysis of impacts of urban land use and land cover on air quality in the Las Vegas region using remote sensing information and ground observations Analysis of impacts of urban land use and land cover on air quality in the Las Vegas region using remote sensing information and ground observations
Urban development in the Las Vegas Valley of Nevada (USA) has expanded rapidly over the past 50 years. The air quality in the valley has suffered owing to increases from anthropogenic emissions of carbon monoxide, ozone and criteria pollutants of particular matter. Air quality observations show that pollutant concentrations have apparent heterogeneous characteristics in the urban area...

Improving land resource evaluation using fuzzy neural network ensembles Improving land resource evaluation using fuzzy neural network ensembles
Land evaluation factors often contain continuous-, discrete- and nominal-valued attributes. In traditional land evaluation, these different attributes are usually graded into categorical indexes by land resource experts, and the evaluation results rely heavily on experts' experiences. In order to overcome the shortcoming, we presented a fuzzy neural network ensemble method that did not...

Improved wetland remote sensing in Yellowstone National Park using classification trees to combine TM imagery and ancillary environmental data Improved wetland remote sensing in Yellowstone National Park using classification trees to combine TM imagery and ancillary environmental data
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service uses the term palustrine wetland to describe vegetated wetlands traditionally identified as marsh, bog, fen, swamp, or wet meadow. Landsat TM imagery was combined with image texture and ancillary environmental data to model probabilities of palustrine wetland occurrence in Yellowstone National Park using classification trees. Model training and test...

Comparison of outgassing models for the Landsat thematic mapper sensors Comparison of outgassing models for the Landsat thematic mapper sensors
The Thematic Mapper (TM) is a multi-spectral electro-optical sensor featured onboard both the Landsat 4 (L4) and Landsat 5 (L5) satellites. TM sensors have seven spectral bands with center wavelengths of approximately 0.49, 0.56, 0.66, 0.83, 1.65, 11.5 and 2.21 μm, respectively. The visible near-infrared (VNIR) bands are located on the primary focal plane (PFP), and two short-wave...

Arc-parallel extension and fluid flow in an ancient accretionary wedge: The San Juan Islands, Washington Arc-parallel extension and fluid flow in an ancient accretionary wedge: The San Juan Islands, Washington
Structural analysis of the Lopez Structural Complex, a major Late Cretaceous terrane-bounding fault zone in the San Juan thrust system, reveals a sequence of events that provides insight into accretionary wedge mechanics and regional tectonics. After formation of regional ductile flattening and shear-related fabrics, the area was crosscut by brittle structures including: (1) southwest...

Improved outgassing models for the Landsat-5 thematic mapper Improved outgassing models for the Landsat-5 thematic mapper
The Landsat-5 (L5) Thematic Mapper (TM) detectors of the short wave infrared (SWIR) bands 5 and 7 are maintained on cryogenic temperatures to minimize thermal noise and allow adequate detection of scene energy. Over the instrument's lifetime, gain oscillations are observed in these bands that are caused by an ice-like contaminant that gradually builds up on the window of a dewar that...

Topography-based analysis of Hurricane Katrina inundation of New Orleans Topography-based analysis of Hurricane Katrina inundation of New Orleans
The ready availability of high-resolution, high-accuracy elevation data proved valuable for development of topographybased products to determine rough estimates of the inundation of New Orleans, La., from Hurricane Katrina. Because of its high level of spatial detail and vertical accuracy of elevation measurements, light detection and ranging (lidar) remote sensing is an excellent...
