Due to the effect of aerosols present in the atmosphere on the satellite images, the study of the effect of local aerosols distribution on the satellite images is important. On the other hand, the study shows that the effect of aerosols on the greenhouse gases and consequently on climate is also undeniable and as a result, this puts more emphasize on the necessity of this study. Lack of informa...

The development of appropriate ground-based validation techniques is critical to assessing uncertainties associated with satellite databased products. Here we present a method for validation of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Leaf Area Index (LAI) product with emphasis on the sampling strategy for field data collection. This paper, the first of two-part series, details...

Numerous ecological problems are based on the disturbance of natural equilibrium of chemical elements which finally brings to pollution of major environmental components. Among pollutants, priority is given particularly to the heavy metals (HM). A complex investigation of pollution of territories with HM implies application of diverse methods that include the assessment of the state of major co...

Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) and Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) are currently operational for routine Earth observation. There are substantial differences between instruments onboard both satellites. The enhancements achieved with Landsat-8 refer to the scanning technology (replacing of whisk-broom scanners with two separate push-bro...

The incorporation of remote sensing (RS) data into digital soil models has shown success to improve soil predictions. However, the effects of multi-resolution imagery on modeling of biogeochemical soil properties in aquatic ecosystems are still poorly understood. The objectives of this study were to (i) develop prediction models for various soil properties (total phosphorus, nitrogen, and carbo...

Snow cover area is one of the most important criteria to calculate snow melt runoff. This can have an effect on the biology of the plant and the environment of a region. Using the catchment basin physical characteristic to calculate snow cover area is a conventional method, though its accuracy is not good enough. Most of the useful methods in calculating snow cover area are based on satellite i...

Abstract Since the city of Manokwari was made capital West Papua Province, population and intensity development in coastal area have rapidly increased. Seeing this condition, research on shoreline changes needs to be done. This study aimed determine oceanography dynamics identify its rate 1999, 2014, 2020 Coastal. The method used is by utilizing satellite image data from Landsat 7 ETM, 8 OLI im...
