(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)An inherent characteristic in a synoptic data acquisition system, such as Landsat, is a voluminous data rate. A proposed method of data reduction or data compression is to perform real-time discriminant analysis on the ...
-
(2023-04-21)The terrestrial carbon, energy, and water cycles are coupled through soil moisture (SM) and evapotranspiration (ET) control on gross primary productivity (GPP) thus controlling the biosphere, land-atmosphere interactions, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Landsat multispectral scanner digital data was evaluated for use in determining brush canopy densities. A Landsat digital data simulation model was utilized to determine vegetation index sensitivity to changes in brush ...
-
Development and Evaluation of Remote Sensing Techniques for Assessing Winter Wheat Growth and Yield (2018-01-05)Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production can be enhanced through the development of improved cultivars with wider genetic background, capable of producing higher yield under various agro-climatic conditions, biotic and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Soil moisture profiles were simulated for a hypothetical loamlike soil with a water and heat balance model. Expected X-band and L-band radiometer response to these conditions were simulated by a radiative transfer model. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Due to inadequate crop acreage and biomass estimates using satellite and aircraft visible and infrared data, a study was conducted to (1) develop and test agricultural crop classification models using two or more spectral ...
-
(2023-05-04)Reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis, is a highly detrimental pest in cotton and necessitates improved understanding of both in-season detection and modern management options. Newly released genetically resistant ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Rio Grande wild turkey (RGWT) abundance in portions of the Edwards Plateau has declined steadily since the late 1970s as compared to other areas of the Edwards Plateau where populations have exhibited no trend. The reasons ...
-
(2012-10-19)The overall objective of the dissertation was to improve the spatial and temporal representation and retrieval accuracy of evapotranspiration (ET) using satellite imagery. Specifically, (1) aiming at improving the spatial ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)A microcomputer based image processing system can be used by agricultural and natural resources professionals as a cost effective tool to analyze the current status of their lands. Appropriately analyzed remotely sensed ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2012)The surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL) has been designed and widely used (and misused) worldwide to estimate evapotranspiration across varying spatial and temporal scales using satellite remote sensing over ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Forest stand parameters were shown to be estimable, using data acquired by the Landsat satellite, at a statistically significant level of accuracy. When volume was regressed against spectral signature, the vegetation index ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Rangeland vegetation and soil measurements were related to composite rangeland reflectance measurements from Landsat multi spectral scanners (MSS) and color infrared aerial photographs. Ground data and remote sensor ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Remote sensing of ocean waters, using the Nimbus-7 Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS), in the northern Gulf of Mexico during a 17 month period (November 1978 - March 1980) showed large variability in the spatial and temporal ...
-
(2017-07-27)This dissertation consists of three parts, each of them, progressively, contributing to the problem of great importance that satellite-based remote sensing of clouds. In the first section, we develop a fast radiative ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Soil moisture in the shallow subsurface is a primary hydrologic state governing land-atmosphere interaction at various scales. The primary objectives of this study are to model soil moisture in the root zone in a distributed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Bidirectional reflectance factor data were acquired over three cotton canopy - soil background combinations with a truck mounted Barnes Modular Multichannel Radiometer simulating Thematic Mapper wavebands. Strong soil ...
-
(2020-01-08)There will be a large increase in the world’s population over the coming decades, which will require a significant increase in global food production. However, a large gap exists between the cultivars we plant today and ...
-
(2015-12-02)Soil moisture forms the interface at which the partitioning of the energy, carbon and water budget for the land-surface occurs. Its variability impacts different fields of application at varying extent scales like agriculture ...
