Long Term Multi-Instruments Land Surface Reflectance Record and Applications
Principal Investigator(s): Sergii Skakun
Funders: NASA - Goddard Space Flight Center Other Non-Federal
Research Areas: Future of Work Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval Smart Cities and Connected Communities
The long-term data record (LTDR) from the Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) provides daily surface reflectance with global coverage from the 1980s to present day, making it a unique source of information for the study of land surface properties and their long-term dynamics. Surface reflectance is a critical input for the generation of products such as vegetation indices, albedo, and land cover. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to quantify its uncertainties to better understand how they might propagate into downstream products.
