EMR
It is often used to describe energy at different wavelengths
What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum?
The type of orbit earth observation satellites are in
What is sun synchronous near polar?
A graph of the spectral reflectance of an object as a function of wavelength
What is a spectral reflectance curve?
Shorter wavelengths are scattered much more than longer wavelengths.
What is Rayleigh Scatter?
It is the portion of the spectrum that can be used to monitor wildfires?
What is the thermal spectrum?
Energy of quantum is inversely proportional to its

What is Landsat 9?
Primary biophysical control of reflectance in the visible portion of the spectrum for vegetation
What are plant pigments?
It is the transformation of radiant energy into heat (longer wavelengths)
What is absorption?
They are the European Space Agency's next generation Earth observing Satellites.

Water absorbs this...
What is SWIR
What is the repeat cycle (temporal resolution)?
It is why a broadleaf tree reflects more NIR energy than a conifer
What is its leaf structure?
It takes place when the diameters of molecules is approximately equal to the size of the wavelength of the incident energy
What is Mie Scattering?
Passive microwave radiometers main applications include
What is mineral exploration and snow and ice detection?
Chlorophyll reflects this
What is NIR?
It is the ability of a sensor to record numerous wavelength intervals and/or narrow wavelength bands.
What is the spectral resolution?
They are the most important factors in explaining soil reflectance.
What are moisture and organic matter content?
It is where energy is not severely attenuated by the atmosphere in high altitude remote sensing
What are atmospheric windows?
It is the portion of the spectrum used to examine water systems?
What is the visible portion of the spectrum?
NIR and SWIR make water appear this color or shade on a map
What is the black or dark?
What is radiometric resolution?
It causes the overall brightness of water in the visible portion of the spectrum to increase
What is water turbidity?
It is the amount of sun's energy that reaches the surface of the Earth?
What is 25%?
It is the portion of the spectrum used to examine atmospheric conditions?
