Multi-spectral Analysis of the Amazon Basin using SeaWinds, ERS, Seasat Scatterometers, TRMM-PR amd SSM/I
The Amazon basin represents a vast geographical zone containing large proportion of global biomass. We use the SeaWinds scatterometer (QSCAT), ERS-1/-2 scatterometer (ESCAT), NASA scatterometer (NSCAT), Seasat scatterometer (SASS), Tropical Rain Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar (TRMMPR) and Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) data to study the multi-spectral microwave response of Amazo...
متن کاملVegetation Study of Amazon using QSCAT in comparison with SASS, ESCAT and NSCAT
The Amazon basin presents a large geographical zone that has undergone significant land cover changes during the last few decades due to accelerated logging and other anthropogenic influences. Amazon forest consists of diverse types of vegetation, which vary with various geophysical factors, like latitude, moisture, rainfall etc. In this paper, variations in the radar backscatter measurements (...
متن کاملCharacterizing ]Earth's Surface Using Moderate Resolution 14Ghz Scatterometer Imagery: Early Results from NSCAT Construction
I. INTRODUCTION Currently there is an extended effort to measure and model global climate. Small-scale vegetation maps, some derived from satellite imagery, are important components of these models. Because of the very large continental regions involved, Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery and its derivative vegetation index products with resolutions between 1 and 12 km hav...
متن کاملNSCAT Views Land and Ice - Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium Proceedings, 1998. IGARSS '98. 1998 IEEE International
The NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) is a spaceborne scatterometer which flew aboard the National Space Development Agency of Japan's ADvanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS). Although the three year mission was cut short due to failure of the spacecraft solar array, NSCAT returned over 9 months of observations of the Earth. NSCAT was originally designed to measure winds over the ocean; however, it...
متن کاملImproved resolution backscatter measurements with the SeaWinds pencil-beam scatterometer
The SeaWinds scatterometer was launched on the NASA QuikSCAT spacecraft in June 1999 and is planned for the Japanese ADEOS-II mission in 2000. In addition to generating a global Ku-band backscatter data set useful for a variety of climate studies, these flights will provide ocean-surface wind estimates for use in operational weather forecasting. SeaWinds employs a compact “pencil-beam” design r...
