Validation of Emissivity Estimates from ASTER and MODIS Data

Thomas J. Schmugge, Kenta Ogawa

Open publisher page 14 citations

Abstract

Two distinctly different approaches are used to extract emissivity information from ASTER and MODIS data. ASTER uses an intuitive empirical relationship between the range of emissivities in the 5 ASTER bands and their minimum value. With its greater swath MODIS is able to uses the day / night pair of observations to obtain the emissivities. The combination of the two approaches should provide robust estimation of the land surface emissivity.
