The Earth Resources Observation Systems data center's training technical assistance, and applications research activities
The Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center (EDO, administered by the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Department of the Interior, provides remotely sensed data to the user community and offers a variety of professional services to further the understanding and use of remote sensing technology. EDC reproduces and sells photographic and electronic copies of satellite images of areas thro

Effects of the atmosphere on the detection of surface changes from Landsat multispectral scanner data
The atmospheric effects on radiometric data recorded in the Landsat multispectral scanner system (MSS) bands are compiled for cases of representative and ideal atmospheric conditions. The effects are expressed as a difference between the Earth's surface spectral reflectivity, a0, and the surface-atmosphere system spectral reflectivity, as, derived from the satellite data,
as−a0 = −a0[l+(l/μ0)](B+W

Arid land monitoring using Landsat albedo difference images
The Landsat albedo, or percentage of incoming radiation reflected from the ground in the wavelength range of 0.5 [mu]m to 1.1 [mu]m, is calculated from an equation using the Landsat digital brightness values and solar irradiance values, and correcting for atmospheric scattering, multispectral scanner calibration, and sun angle. The albedo calculated for each pixel is used to create an albedo image

Use of laboratory spectrometry to predict the detection of phytoplankton luminescence by an airborne Fraunhofer line discriminator
The Fraunhofer line discriminator (FLD), an airborne electro-optical instrument designed to measure solar-stimulated luminescence, has a sensitivity approaching that of current laboratory fluorescence spectrometers. The feasibility of using an airborne FLD for detection of near-coastal and open-ocean phytoplankton was established by using a laboratory fluorescence spectrometer to measure the lumin

The logic of multispectral classification and mapping of land
The use of multispectral reflectance data as surrogates for land attributes must be done within strict rules of logic and with a recognition of judgmental factors such as the use of a priori or a posteriori classification schemes. The naming and describing of spectral classes as surrogates of information classes is a critical element in the logic of mapping and must be complete and logically consi

Significant results from using earth observation satellites for mineral and energy resource exploration
A large number of Earth-observation satellites orbit our world several times each day, providing new information about the land and sea surfaces and the overlying thin layer of atmosphere that makes our planet unique. Meteorological satellites have had the longest history of experimental use and most are now considered operational. The geologic information collected by the Landsat, Polar Orbiting
