Why is the sky blue? Rayleigh scattering occurs when light interacts with particles that are _____ than the wavelength of light
smaller
100
This type of geospatial data stores spatial information in the form of an image made up of pixels representing a single value
Raster
100
An array of these makes up a sensor
Detectors
100
This is an image from a GOES satellite, which continually collects data from the same point on Earth in this kind of orbit
Geostationary

Make one of these using the following button: 
Spectral Profile Tool
200
This kind of EMR, which ranges from .720 to 1.3 microns, is highly reflective in healthy vegetation
NIR
200
A raster is made up of two components: image data and this
Header
200
This type of sensor detects and records EMR emitted from the sensor itself, like LIDAR or RADAR
Active sensor
200
This Earth observation program is the longest running satellite continuity program, with its first launch in 1979
Landsat
200
What land cover type does this spectral signature represent?
Soil/barren
300
This part of the EMS is usually emitted from a surface, not reflected (wavelengths not needed, just the name)
Thermal infrared
300
To create a false color composite from Landsat imagery displays NIR-RED-GREEN in the RGB channels, use this band combination
5-4-3
300
In a satellite image, the total cross-track and along-track widths for the entire sensor define this characteristic
Spatial extent
300
This medium to coarse resolution program has a wide swath width so that it can provide daily data of the entire globe for monitoring ocean temperatures, vegetation health, land cover change and snow and ice cover.
MODIS
300
The SCP Plugin in QGIS converts this number to a reflectance value.
Digital number
400
This value is the ratio of the observed brightness reflected off of a surface to the amount of irradiance falling on it - also denoted as p(λ) = RR(λ) / RI(λ)
reflectance
400
A GIS can plot raster data in the correct place on Earth because of these pieces of information in the header (name two)
Top left coordinate, pixel size, CRS
400
A sensor that produces this spectral profile is probably in this spectral resolution category
Hyperspectral
400
On a satellite's elliptical orbit, this is the point the satellite is closest to earth
Perigee
400
This file extension is how QGIS default saves projects and data
.gpkg
500
Shown here, the relationship between temperature of a blackbody, emitted radiation and wavelength is known as this law
Wien's displacement law
500
This is how multi-band imagery is digitally organized into a single file
Interleave
500
This part of the sensor response curve, covered by the red box, is above the maximum of the sensor's dynamic range
Saturation
500
This spaceborne-LIDAR system recently went through a test mission aboard the ISS, and captures near-global canopy information in full waveform format
GEDI
500
Oops! What's happening on the left is likely this kind of error(
Projection
600
This type of surface is a perfect isotropic reflector
Lambertian
600
This is the maximum value that can be stored in an 8-bit unsigned integer raster
255
600
One way sensors differentiate specific wavelengths is by using filters. This second type is more often used in hyperspectral sensors
Diffraction grating
600
This image is from this satellite program, which has 10 bands in the shortwave to thermal infrared range:
ASTER
600
Like QGIS, this is another example of an open source GIS platform
GRASS R Python GDAL etc
