  2. ASTER Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer

  3. ASTER Bands

  4. ASTER high spatial resolution observations from the visible through the thermal infrared spectral regions are being used to study: • Surface properties such as temperature, emissivity, and reflectivity • Elements of the surface heat balance including radiative, sensible, and latent heat fluxes as inputs to models of the global energy and climate systems • Evapotranspiration and hydrology • Glacier extent, velocities, and changes • Volcanoes, including eruption monitoring • Geology and topography of the land surface • Coral reefs and coastal processes • Patterns of vegetation, land use, and surface change • Sea ice extent and albedo and the areas of open leads and meltponds • Hazard monitoring, including wild fires, landslides, flooding • Urban monitoring

  5. ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT • Science algorithm selected by appropriate working group (joint U.S./Japanese) • Algorithm developer creates prototype software • Product generation group builds operational software • Software installed at DAAC (EDC) • Developer validates, modifies, updates • Example: MODIS and MISR atmospheric data now in process of being incorporated

  6. DECORRELATION STRETCHRonald Alley, Jet Propulsion Laboratory • Available for each telescope separately • Enhances spectral differences by removing interband correlation • Used as browse for selecting suitable scenes for further research

  13. BRIGHTNESS TEMPERATURERonald Alley, Jet Propulsion Laboratory • Apparent temperature, assuming a surface emissivity, with no atmospheric correction • Used to observe volcanoes, fire, ice leads, etc. • Used for cloud top temperatures, which are excluded from surface radiance calculations

  14. Brightness Temperature - Land

  15. Brightness Temperature - Water

  16. SURFACE RADIANCE VNIR & SWIR Kurt Thome, University of Arizona • Algorithm uses RTC to correct at satellite radiance to surface radiance • Method assumes atmospheric properties are known from other sources, e.g., satellite sensor data, ground based measurements, climatology

  17. SURFACE RADIANCE TIRFrank Palluconi, Jet Propulsion Laboratory • Algorithm uses RTC to correct at satellite radiance to surface radiance • Method assumes atmospheric properties are known from other sources, e.g., satellite sensor data, ground based measurements, climatology
