Abstract:

The purpose of this dissertation is to develop and evaluate techniques for improvement of seasonal streamflow forecasts in the Upper Rio Grande (URG) basin in the U.S. Southwest. Three techniques are investigated. The first technique is an investigation of the effects of the El Ni??o/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on temperature, precipitation, snow water equivalent (SWE), and the resulting streamflow at a monthly time scale, using data from 1952 to 1999 (WY). It was seen that the effects of ENSO on temperature and precipitation were confined to certain months, predominantly at the beginning and

Abstract:

The Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is a standard measure of imaging systems performance. This work addresses determination of the MTF for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Earth remote sensing system on NASA's TERRA satellite. Reliable characterization of the MODIS MTF requires using as many sources of information as possible for evaluation. In this research a model, pre-launch and on-orbit measurements are used to develop a consistent characterization of the MTF. The on-orbit characterization is implemented using two approaches. The first is cross-track temporal mo

Abstract:

This study analyses the spatial and temporal variability of chlorophyll-a in Chesapeake Bay; assesses the performance of Ocean Color 3M (OC3M) algorithm; and develops a novel algorithm to estimate chlorophyll-a for coastal shallow water. The OC3M algorithm yields an accurate estimate of chlorophyll-a concentration for deep ocean water (RMSE=0.016), but it failed to perform well in the coastal water system (RMSE=23.17) of Chesapeake Bay. A novel algorithm was developed which utilizes green and red bands of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor. The novel algorithm der

Abstract:

Monitoring and understanding plant phenology is becoming an increasingly important way to identify and model global changes in vegetation life cycle events. Although numerous studies have used synoptically sensed data to study phenological patterns at the continental and global scale, relatively few have focused on characterizing the land surface phenology of specific ecosystems. Mountain environments provide excellent examples of how variations in topography, elevation, solar radiation, temperature, and spatial location affect vegetation phenology. High elevation biomes cover twenty percent o

Abstract:

Biomass burning in southern Africa has brought significant challenges to the research society as a fundamental driver of climate and land cover changes. Burned area mapping approaches have been developed that generate large-scale low and moderate resolution products made with different satellite data. This consequently afford the remote sensing community a unique opportunity to support their potential applications in e.g., examining the impact of fire on natural resources, estimating the quantities of burned biomass and gas emissions. Generally, the satellite-derived burned area products produ

Abstract:

In the year 2000, croplands covered about 12% of the Earth’s ice-free land surface. Through cropland management, humankind momentarily appropriates about 25% of terrestrial ecosystem productivity. Not only are croplands a key element of human food supply, but also bear potential in increased carbon (C) uptake when best-practice land management approaches are adopted. A detailed assessment of the impact of land use on terrestrial ecosystems can be achieved by modelling, but the simulation of crop C cycling itself is a relatively new discipline.

Abstract:

Satellites provide humanity with data to infer properties of the earth that were impossible a century ago. Humanity can now easily monitor the amount of ice found on the polar caps, the size of forests and deserts, the earth’s atmosphere, the seasonal variation on land and in the oceans and the surface temperature of the earth. In this thesis, new hypertemporal techniques are proposed for the settlement detection problem in South Africa. The hypertemporal techniques are applied to study areas in the Gauteng and Limpopo provinces of South Africa. To be more specific, new sequential (windowless)

Abstract:

Snow albedo is one of the most important factors for atmosphere-surface energy exchange in high latitude areas. Remote sensing provides continual observations of snow albedo. However, the reliability of snow albedos obtained from remotely sensed images can be problematic, especially when acquired over heterogeneous land surfaces. This research examines spatial variations in snow albedo observed under different conditions in order to assess how accurate an individual in situ observation of snow albedo is when compared to the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) daily snow albe

Continuous estimation of water quality parameter in the ocean is important because ocean plays a key role in water cycle between land, atmosphere and ocean, also serve as a source of human food. New technology of remote sensing in water quality parameters is to predict data of ocean parameters by using remote sensing images that reflect a wide range of spatial and temporal changes in ocean
