Satellite remote sensing in epidemiological studies

Aerosol Satellite Remote Sensing Aerosol Satellite Remote Sensing

A new aerosol retrieval algorithm is presented which computes the spectral opti-cal depth over the ocean from spaceborne radiometers. It includes both multiplescattering and the bi-directional re ectance of the ocean surface. The algorithmis applied to data from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer 2 (ATSR-2).This radiometer aboard the ERS-2 satellite has 4 bands in the visible a...

The role of satellite remote sensing in climate change studies

1 Observational data and model simulations are the foundations of our understanding of the climate system1. Satellite remote sensing (SRS) — which acquires information about the Earth’s surface, subsurface and atmosphere remotely from sensors on board satellites (including geodetic satellites) — is an important component of climate system observations. Since the first space observation of solar...

Review of Satellite Remote Sensing Use in Forest Health Studies

Satellite remote sensing has been used in forest health management by providing methods for vegetation mapping, fire fuel mapping, fire risk estimates and fire detection, post-fire severity mapping, insect-infestation mapping, and relative water stress monitoring. This paper reviews the efforts in the field of satellite remote sensing for forest health, including current research activities, th...
