This paper reports the passive microwave radiometry application for regional assessment of crop growth in India. Brightness temperature (TB) of various vegetation classes observed at 37 GHz using special sensor microwave imager (SSMI) data. during Kharif season in 1 999 in India are analyzed. Vertical as well as hQrizontal polarization brightness temperature is used to derive microwave polariza...

the normalized difference vegetation index (ndvi) derived from the spot 4 satellite has been widely used to monitor moisture-related vegetation condition. the relationship between vegetation and climate index, however, is complex and has not been adequately studied with satellite sensor data. to better understand this relationship, an analysis was conducted on time series of monthly ndvi (1999–...

The present study demonstrates the application of remote sensing for the estimation of areas corresponding to crop and forest lands covered in the district of Aurangabad, (Maharashtra), India. The data acquired by IRS-P6 Advanced Wide Field Sensors (AWiFS) having 56m spatial resolution for the months of October & December 2012 which covered complete study areas with its swath of 740Km has been ...

In this study, we used a set of hyperspectral Hyperion scenes and assessed the effects of differing spectral and spatial resolutions on MODIS-AVHRR vegetation index (VI) continuity. Hyperion scenes were processed to simulate atmospherically-corrected normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and 2-band enhanced vegetation index (EVI2) values at MODIS Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) and AVHRR Gl...
