d. Landsat (LDCM) 11 bands (1 pan, 8 MS, 2 TIR), 15 (pan)/30/100 (TIR), 16 days, 16 bits (originally 12)
Satellites with off-nadir revisit capability SPOT
 First experimental satellite in the world designed to collect earth resources data a. Landsat-1 in 1972
 The ways in collecting Landsat and SPOT data Discrete detector, linear arrays, linear and area arrays, area arrays a. Discrete- collects pixel by pixel b. Linear- collects line by line c. Area- collects by area
 Landsat 8 revisit time, and way to collect image a. Revisit time: 16 days b. TIRS bands 10-11: collected at 100 meters but resampled
 Earth orbit for GPS satellites a. Medium earth orbit (MEO), 2,000-36,000km
 Path and row number of Landsat scene in Muncie, IN a. Path/row=21/32
 SWIR in SPOT and MIR in Landsat a. MIR 2 or 3 micrometers b. SWIR about 2 or 3 micrometers
 Application of Landsat blue band, designed for water body penetration, making it useful for coastal water mapping; also useful for soil/vegetation discrimination, forest type mapping, and cultural feature identification
 Application of Landsat TM NIR b. NIR- useful for determining vegetation types, vigor, and biomass content, for delineating water bodies, and for soil moisture discrimination
 Application of Landsat TM TIR c. TIR- useful in vegetation stress analysis, soil moisture discrimination, and thermal mapping applications
 Properties of AVIRIS a. Unique optical sensor that delivers calibrated images of the upwelling spectral radiance in 224 contiguous spectral channels (bands) with wavelengths from 400 to 2500 nm; platforms: NASA ER-2 jet and twin otter turboprop
 Properties of AVIRIS resolution and band i. 1band spanning (0.4-2.5 um) at 224 Resolution
 Properties of AVIRIS Applications oceanography, environmental science, snow hydrology, geology, agriculture, limnology, volcanology, soil and land management, atmospheric and aerosol studies
 Satellite sensor to collect 224 spectral bands a. EO-1
 Satellite with the same orbit but one minute later than Landsat 7 a. EO-1
 Ground coverage of Landsat TM and SPOT HRV a. Landsat TM: 185x185km swath width b. SPOT HRV: 60x60 km swath width
 Relationship between radiometric resolution and range of brightness values a. 2^8-1
 Emissivities of some common land features (water, forest, grass, metal etc.) a. Water- close to 1 b. Forest- over 0.9 c. Grass- less than 0.1 d. Metal-
 Meaning of 0 K in absolute temperature a. The lowest a temperature can go, no molecule movement, does not emit electromagnetic energy
 Spectral regions of the two atmospheric windows used in TIR remote sensing a. 3-5 micrometers and 8-14 micrometers
 Interpretation of a residential thermal infrared imagery (Lab5) a. This is where you compare like dark vs light surfaces like roads and grasses.  Radiation budget equation on the terrain
 Radiation budget equation on the terrain  Radiation budget equation on the terrain
 The reasons of water has brighter tone than vegetation in nighttime TIR image a. Water is warmer at night than vegetation because it has a higher specific heat
 First US satellite to collect thermal infrared data a. US Television IR Operational satellite (TIROS)
 Kirchoff’s radiation law a.    b. 1=r+
 Spectral regions of visible, NIR, MIR, TIR, and Microwave a. Visible: 0.4-0.7 micrometers b. NIR: 0.7-1.3 micrometers c. MIR: 1.3-3 micrometers d. TIR: 3-14 micrometers e. Microwave: 1-100 cm
 Calculation of radiant temperature or kinetic temperature (HW) (formula given) a. Convert temp to kelvin then back to Celsius i. 0.981/4 * 28= 27.858 degrees Celsius then back to Kelvin
 Difference between passive and active remote sensing and examples a. Passive: record solar EMR (from the sun) i. Reflected or emitted from the surface of the earth
 Difference between passive and active remote sensing and examples b. Active: record man-made EMR (from the sensor) i. Transmitted from the sensor toward the terrain ii. Interacts with the terrain producing a backscatter of energy iii. The backscattered energy is recorded by the remote
 Calculation of ground resolution of a single across-track scanner (see HW, lab 5) a. 1.0Milliradaian/1000 *250

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
