EOS Validation ProgramValidation of ASTER and MODIS Surface-Temperature and Vegetation Products with Surface-Flux ApplicationsStith T. GowerInstitution: University of Wisconsin - Madison WWW: http://ra.forest.wisc.edu/cheas To obtain validation data go to ORNL Mercury site at: http://mercury.ornl.gov/ornldaac/ Co-Investigators:George R. Diak, University of Wisconsin EOS Teams: MODIS NASA EOS-PSO funding through FY02: $917,712 Progress Reports ABSTRACTThe objective of this proposed work is to provide a unique and cost effective set of verification and supporting measurements for ASTER land-surface temperature and emissivity and MODIS surface temperatures and vegetation - related products. The ASTER/MODIS products to be directly validated in this program are: LST and emissivity at the scale of ASTER and MODIS pixels; LAI; FIPAR; ANPP and the net ecosystem CO2 exchange, snow and land cover. The justification of this work resides in the necessity to validate MODIS and ASTER products in one of the most important biomes influencing the global carbon budget. |
