The methodology and results of the digital analysis of multispectral space imagery LANDSAT 7 ETM+ are considered, namely the calculation of NDVI index and isolation of principal components. The meaning of the latter has been analyzed by the calculation of their correlations with spectral channels and relations to the main vegetation types. Key words: multispectral geoimagery, vegetation index, principal component analysis, geoinformation analysis.

Abstract Multispectral surface albedo and bidirectional properties are required for accurate determination of the surface and atmosphere solar radiation budget. A method is developed here to obtain time series of these surface characteristics consistent with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) using historical satellite observations with limited spectral coverage available from NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and VEGETATION/Satellite pour l’Observation de la Terre (SPOT). A nonlinear regression model was developed that relates retrievals from four spectral channels of VEGETATION/SPOT or three spectral channels of NOAA AVHRR with retrieval from each of the seven MODIS channels designed for land applications. The model also takes into account the surface land cover type, the normalized difference vegetation index, and the seasonal cycle. It was applied to generate surface albedo and bidirectional parameters of the seven MODIS-like spectral channels at a 10-day interval for the 1995–2004 period over the U.S. southern Great Plains. The relative retrieval accuracy for the MODIS channels replicated from AVHRR or VEGETATION/SPOT data was typically better than 5%. Correlation coefficients between replicated and original data varied from 0.92 to 0.98 for all channels except MODIS channel 5, where it was lower (0.77–0.84). The developed method provides valuable information for parameterization of spectral albedo in global climate models and can be extended to generate global multispectral data compatible with MODIS from historical AVHRR and VEGETATION/SPOT observations for the pre-MODIS era.

Empirical vegetation indices derived from spectral reflectance data are widely used in remote sensing of the biosphere, as they represent robust proxies for canopy structure, leaf pigment content, and, subsequently, plant photosynthetic potential. Here, we generalize the broad family of commonly used vegetation indices by exploiting all higher-order relations between the spectral channels involved. This results in a higher sensitivity to vegetation biophysical and physiological parameters. The presented nonlinear generalization of the celebrated normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) consistently improves accuracy in monitoring key parameters, such as leaf area index, gross primary productivity, and sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence. Results suggest that the statistical approach maximally exploits the spectral information and addresses long-standing problems in satellite Earth Observation of the terrestrial biosphere. The nonlinear NDVI will allow more accurate measures of terrestrial carbon source/sink dynamics and potentials for stabilizing atmospheric CO2 and mitigating global climate change.

AbstractProject META II, a full sky survey for artificial narrow-band signals, has been conducted from one of the two 30-m radiotelescopes of the Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomía (IAR). The search was performed near the 1420 Mhz line of neutral hydrogen, using a 8.4 million channels Fourier spectrometer of 0.05 Hz resolution and 400 kHz instantaneous bandwidth. The observing frequency was corrected both for motions with respect to three astronomical inertial frames, and for the effect of Earths rotation, which provides a characteristic changing signature for narrow-band signals of extraterrestrial origin. Among the 2 × 1013spectral channels analyzed, 29 extra-statistical narrow-band events were found, exceeding the average threshold of 1.7 × 10−23Wm−2. The strongest signals that survive culling for terrestrial interference lie in or near the galactic plane. A description of the project META II observing scheme and results is made as well as the possible interpretation of the results using the Cordes-Lazio-Sagan model based in interstellar scattering theory.

Pulau Kecil Gelasa merupakan daerah yang belum banyak diteliti. Pemetaan ekosistem di pulau kecil dilakukan dengan bantuan citra Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS). Penelitian terdahulu diketahui bahwa ALOS memiliki kemampuan memetakan terumbu karang dan padang lamun di perairan dangkal serta mampu memetakan kerapatan penutupan vegetasi. Metode interpretasi citra menggunakan alogaritma indeks vegetasi pada citra ALOS yaitu NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), serta pendekatan Lyzengga untuk mengkoreksi kolom perairan. Hasil penelitian didapatkan luasan Padang Lamun di perairan dangkal 41,99 Ha, luasan Terumbu Karang 125,57 Ha. Hasil NDVI di daratan/ pulau kecil Gelasa untuk Vegetasi Rapat seluas 47,62 Ha; luasan penutupan Vegetasi Sedang 105,86 Ha; dan penutupan Vegetasi Jarang adalah 34,24 Ha.   Small Island Gelasa rarely studied. Mapping ecosystems on small islands with the image of Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS). Previous research has found that ALOS has the ability to map coral reefs and seagrass beds in shallow water, and is able to map vegetation cover density. The method of image interpretation uses the vegetation index algorithm in the ALOS image, NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), and the Lyzengga approach to correct the water column. The results of the study were obtained in the area of Seagrass Padang in the shallow waters of 41.99 ha, the area of coral reefs was 125.57 ha. NDVI results on land / small islands Gelasa for dense vegetation of 47.62 ha; area of Medium Vegetation coverage 105.86 Ha; and the coverage of Rare Vegetation is 34.24 Ha.

The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between vegetation indices of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and soil nutrient of oil palm plantation at Felcra Nasaruddin Bota in Perak for future sustainable environment. The satellite image was used and processed in the research. By Using NDVI, the vegetation index was obtained which varies from -1 to +1. Then, the soil sample and soil moisture analysis were carried in order to identify the nutrient values of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). A total of seven soil samples were acquired within the oil palm plantation area. A regression model was then made between physical condition of the oil palms and soil nutrients for determining the strength of the relationship. It is hoped that the risk map of oil palm healthiness can be produced for various applications which are related to agricultural plantation.

Konversi hutan manggrove merupakan sumber utama emisi CO dengan jumlah sebesar 1,7 ± 0,6 Pg karbon per tahun. Kegiatan konversi hutan mangrove menjadi lahan tambak melepaskan cadangan karbon ke atmosfir dalam jumlah yang cukup berarti. Ekspansi usaha pertambakan udang di kawasan pesisir Provinsi Lampung semakin meluas dari tahun ke tahun yang berdampak serius pada kondisi hutan mangrove. Kebijakan pembukaan tambak baru telah mengubah bentang hutan mangrove dan akan menimbulkan kerugian sosial yang jauh lebih besar. Menanggapi permasalahan tersebut, Indonesia menjadi salah satu negara yang mengikuti program Reduce Emission from Deforestation and Degradation atau REDD+ dalam melakukan inventarisasi karbon hutan. Indonesia memiliki potensi sumberdaya hutan mangrove yang sangat melimpah. Potensi hutan mangrove Indonesia cukup besar, Indonesia memiliki luas hutan mangrove terbesar di dunia. Salah satunya di Kabupaten Lampung Selatan merupakan kawasan dengan tutupan yang relatif luas di Provinsi Lampung. Karakteristik hutan mangrove dianalisis berdasarkan nilai spektral nya dengan menggunakan indeks vegetasi. Jenis data penginderaan jauh yang digunakan untuk penelitian ini adalah citra SPOT 7. Citra SPOT 7 dianalisis menggunakan Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) sehingga diperoleh nilai kehijauan objek mangrove. Nilai indeks vegetasi pada kawasan penelitian mempunyai range antara 0.2 – 0.7. Nilai indeks vegetasi digunakan sebagai parameter untuk memetakan kawasan hutan mangrove di Kabupaten Lampung Selatan.
