Parameterization of surface polarized reflectance derived from POLDER spaceborne measurements
Two months of spaceborne POLDER polarization measurements have been used to generate empirical surface bidirectional polarization distribution functions (BPDF’s). Eleven surface classes have been defined based on a surface classification and a vegetation index. Within each class, the surface polarized reflectance was found rather homogeneous. The surface polarized reflectance is highly anisotro...
متن کاملAce: a New Global Digital Elevation Model Incorporating Satellite Altimeter Derived Heights
A new Global Digital Elevation Model is being generated at 30" resolution by combining the best available ground truth with a unique global database of satellite altimeter derived heights. This model, ACE (Altimeter Corrected Elevations) demonstrates radically improved spatial accuracy and resolution over large parts of the globe, in particular over Africa and South America. The independent alt...
متن کاملObservation of Global Ocean-Atmosphere from Spaceborne Sensors Exchanges
The ocean and the atmosphere are coupled by the fluxes of momentum, heat, and water, but in situ measurements of these fluxes are sparse and uneven. Global fields of these fluxes can be derived from satellite data or obtained from operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. The NWP models provide quality control and dynamic interpolation of sparse and uneven data. However, dynamic in...
متن کاملA global poverty map derived from satellite data
A global poverty map has been produced at 30 arcsec resolution using a poverty index calculated by dividing population count (LandScan 2004) by the brightness of satellite observed lighting (DMSP nighttime lights). Inputs to the LandScan product include satellite-derived land cover and topography, plus human settlement outlines derived from high-resolution imagery. The poverty estimates have be...
متن کاملGlobal Three-dimensional Constituent Fields Derived from Profile Data
The success of 3D simulations of stratospheric constituent variability depends critically on the initialization of the constituent fields within the global model. We d•cribe a technique for generating lobal 3D fields from -vertical constituent profiles. The technique uses poten: tial vorticity (q) and potential temperature (O) to map the profries onto the global domain. The profiles used here a...
