DESCRIPTION:
He served on the science team for many instruments, including Skylab, HCMM, Landsat, and EO-1. His current research is on land cover and land use change, the extent and impacts of global fire, global agricultural monitoring, and their associated information technology and decision support systems. He is a member of the NASA NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) Science Team. Michael Abrams received hi
This volume is divided into six sections. The latter three sections exclusively deal with ASTER and MODIS data products and their applications, and the future of these two classes of remotely sensed observations.. The first three sections provide insights into the history, philosophy, and evolution of the EOS, ASTER and MODIS instrument designs and calibration mechanisms, and the data systems components used to manage and provide the science data and derived products. Land Remote Sensing and Global Environmental Change: The Science of ASTER and MODIS is an edited compendium of contributions dealing with ASTER and MODIS satellite sensors aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua platforms launched as part of the Earth Observing System fleet in 1999 and 2002 respectively
From the reviews:“This book is directed to those involved in monitoring land surfaces using remotely sensed data … . Nguy-Robertson, Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, January, 2012) . … Those who use ASTER or MODIS imagery for land observations should consider finding room on their bookshelves for this book.” (Anthony L. … provides an excellent reference for the technical specifications and consideration in these sensors. This book encompasses both the technical aspect
jdaucs said you can know it all. We rate this book top notch for those who want to know soup to nuts on NASA's contribution to Land Remote Sensing. The editors Ramachandran, Justice and Abrams did an amazing job making a complex subject quite readable. This is a highly technical book for those who are serious on instrument and data management topics.
