  • Advanced remote sensing techniques for global changes and Amazon ecosystem functioning studies 
    Sano E.; Carvalho Claudio; Novo Evlyn; Barbosa Claudio; Ferreira L; Myneni Ranga; Yoshioka Hiroki; Melack John; Kumar Vipin; Klooster Steven; Potter Christopher; Huete Alfredo; Hess Laura; Roberts Dar.; Shimabukuro Yosio; Miura Tomoaki; Didan Kamel; Ratana Piyachat (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia, 2005)
    This paper aims to assess the contribution of remote sensing technology in addressing key questions raised by the Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA). The answers to these questions foster the ...
  • Amazon rainforests green-up with sunlight in dry season 
    Huete Alfredo; Didan Kamel; Shimabukuro Yosio; Ratana Piyachat; Saleska Scott; Hutyra Lucy; Yang Wenze; Nemani Ramakrishna; Myneni Ranga (Amer Geophysical Union, 2006)
    Metabolism and phenology of Amazon rainforests significantly influence global dynamics of climate, carbon and water, but remain poorly understood. We analyzed Amazon vegetation phenology at multiple scales with Moderate ...
  • Analysis and Optimization of the MODIS Leaf Area Index Algorithm Retrievals Over Broadleaf Forests 
    Shabanov Nikolay; Huang Dong; Yang Wenze; Tan Bin; Knyazikhin Yuri; Myneni Ranga; Ahl Douglas; Gower Stith; Huete Alfredo; Aragao Luiz; Shimabukuro Yosio (IEEE, 2005)
    Broadleaf forest is a major type of Earth's land cover with the highest observable vegetation density. Retrievals of biophysical parameters, such as leaf area index (LAI), of broadleaf forests at global scale constitute a ...
  • Constraining rooting depths in tropical rainforests using satellite data and ecosystem modeling for accurate simulation of gross primary production seasonality 
    Ichii Kazuhito; Hashimoto Hirofumi; White Michael; Pottors Christopher; Hutyra Lucy; Huete Alfredo; Myneni Ranga; Nemani Ramakrishna (Blackwell, 2007)
    Accurate parameterization of rooting depth is difficult but important for capturing the spatio-temporal dynamics of carbon, water and energy cycles in tropical forests. In this study, we adopted a new approach to constrain ...
  • Large seasonal swings in leaf area of Amazon rainforests 
    Myneni Ranga; Yang W; Nemani Ramakrishna; Huete Alfredo; Dickinson R; Knyazikhin Yuri; Didan Kamel; Fu Rong; Negron Juarez Robinson; Saatchi Sasan; Hashimoto Hirofumi; Ichii Kazuhito; Shabanov Nikolay; Tan Bin; Ratana Piyachat; Privette Jeffrey; Morisette Jeffrey; Vermote Eric; Roy David; Wolfe Robert; Friedl Mark; Running Steven; Votava Petr; El-Saleous Nazmi; Devadiga Sadashiva; Su Yin; Salomonson Vincent (National Academy of Sciences, 2007)
    Despite early speculation to the contrary, all tropical forests studied to date display seasonal variations in the presence of new leaves, ?owers, and fruits. Past studies were focused on the timing of phenological events ...
  • The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS): Land Remote Sensing for Global Change Research 
    Justice Christopher; Vermote Eric; Townshend John; Defries Ruth; Roy David; Hall Dorothy; Salomonson Vincent; Privette Jeffrey; Riggs George; Strahler Alan; Lucht Wolfgang; Myneni Ranga; Knyazikhin Yuri; Running Steve; Nemani Rama; Wan Zhengming; Huete Alfredo; Leeuwen W; Wolfe Robert; Giglio Louis; Muller Jan-Peter; Lewis Philip; Barnsley Michael (IEEE, 1998)
    The first Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument is planned for launch by NASA in 1998. This instrument will provide a new and improved capability for terrestrial satellite remote sensing aimed ...
