1 Cross-Sensor Continuity Science Algorithm - Long Term Vegetation Index and Phenology Workshop - Javzan Tsend-Ayush and Tomoaki Miura Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management University of Hawaii at Manoa Long Term Vegetation Index and Phenology Workshop,

2 The Continuity Algorithm Goal To translate LTDR AVHRR NDVI and EVI2 to Terra MODIS-compatible VIs for the generation of a continuous VI time series dataset Accounting for biases among sensors due to differences in: o Sensor characteristics o Product generation algorithms 2

3 Science Algorithm Approaches Two approaches used: o Top-down, direct image comparison using overlapping periods of observations Used to obtain equations for translating NOAA-14 AVHRR to MODIS-like values o Bottom-up, simulation analysis using hyperspectral imagery Used to derive equations for the spectral corrections from NOAA-7, 9, 11 AVHRRs to NOAA- 14 AVHRR Spectral Consistency across AVHRR/2 via Hyperspectral Simulation Terra / Aqua MODIS NOAA-14 AVHRR/2 VI NOAA-7,9,11 AVHRR/2 VI VGT-like AVHRR VI NOAA-7, -9, -11, -14 AVHRR/2 * Not Recommended MODIS-like VI SPOT-4 VEGETATION 3

4 Top-Down, Direct Image Comparison Three versions of translation equations developed progressively: Version 1.0 (V1) o We developed a single translation equation. o The translation equation does not consider any land cover dependency. Version 2.0 (V2) o We derived one equation per land cover. o The translation equations reduce overall systematic biases in the translation results due to land cover differences. Version 3.0 (V3) o We developed a single translation equation. o The translation equation dynamically adjusts with land cover conditions without using any existing land cover maps. 4
