Abstract:
This paper relates the approaches and computational technologies, used at the Center for Remote Sensing, Altai State University, to retrieve the land surface variables (albedo; normalized difference snow index, NSDI) on a near-real time basis, determine the spatial structure of the areas of technogenic pollution of a large industrial center, estimate the aerosol optical depth of the atmosphere, using the MODIS/(Terra + Aqua) data. The areas of technogenic pollution for Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, Tomsk, Barnaul, Zarinsk, determined using the MODIS data (MOD35, MOD09, MOD10, and albedo data products) at winter period (2008-2010) are presented, as well as the distributions of the aerosol optical thickness (AOT) for these areas. It is shown that the areas determined are in agreement with results of the field observations.
