WANG, J., S. A. CHRISTOPHER, J. S. REID, E. M. PRINS, AND J. SZYKMAN. AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR STUDYING THE EFFECTS OF SMOKE AEROSOLS ON AIR QUALITY OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. Presented at American Meteorological Society, 13th Conference on Satellite Meteorology Society, Norfolk, VA, September 21, 2004.
Impact/Purpose:
Our research objectives are to: (a) develop new methods using satellite remote sensor data for the rapid characterization of LC condition and change at regional to national scales; (b) evaluate the utility of the new NASA-EOS MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) leaf area index (LAI) measurements for regional scale application with landscape process models (e.g., biogenic emissions and atmospheric deposition); (c) provide remote sensor derived measurement data to advance the development of the next generation of distributed landscape process-based models to provide a predictive modeling capability for important ecosystem processes (e.g., nutrients, sedimentation, pathogens, etc.); and (d) integrate in situ monitoring measurement networks with UAV and satellite based remote sensor data to provide a continuous environmental monitoring capability.
