Alaska Volcano Observatory - About AVO - Remote Sensing of remote sensing studies by AVO. NOAA weather satellite image recorded by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor of the eruption of Kliuchevskoi http://www.avo.alaska.edu/about/remote.php
Extractions: NOAA weather satellite image recorded by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor of the eruption of Kliuchevskoi Volcano, Kamchatka, Russia. Remote Sensing scientists use geostationary and polar orbiting satellite data to monitor and analyze volcanoes in Alaska and on the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. These data include: GEOS, GMS, Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) , and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Most of these data are received and processed in real-time by ground receiving stations at the Geophysical Institute, located on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Volcanic thermal anomalies (colloquially referred to as hot spots), eruption plumes, crustal deformation, lava flows, cones and other volcanic landforms are analyzed. In addition, the Puff plume tracking model is used to analyze plume movement and to predict its trajectory. A key use of satellite data is to monitor (often via AVO's

Extractions: Learning About Satellites and Remote Sensing M eteorological satellites (or more broadly, environmental satellites) have been around for 40 years. Imagery from satellites are standard fare for television weathercasts and are familiar to most everyone. But do you understand how they really work and the significance of what your are seeing? S atellite pictures taken in visible light are the easiest to understand on a basic level, as it is what we are familiar with in our everyday experience. Reflection of light from clouds or other objects and surfaces reflects back to our eyes or a camera. The reflection of light makes the object visible. Exceptions would be self-luminous objects, such as the sun or a light bulb, which do not depend on reflected light. B ut visible light is only one type of electromagnetic radiation. The infrared region of the spectrum is where objects and gases of "normal" temperatures usually radiate most strongly. Sensors aboard the satellites provide images in this and other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, as well. B elow are links to a variety of resources on the Internet to help the user learn the basics of the electromagnetic spectrum, satellite remote sensing, some specific applications and explanations of how some satellites work. No attempt is made here to include the breadth of remote sensing or to provide links to the many Internet sources of satellite imagery. With the ever-changing content of the Internet and World Wide Web, no list will ever be complete!

Extractions: June 1993 Remote sensing is the gathering and recording of information without actual physical contact of the sensing equipment with the object or area being investigated, as in satellite or aerial photography. Remote sensing is used to collect information about the earth's geological features, vegetation, atmosphere, bodies of water, ice surfaces, and land use. Such observations have applications in archaeology, cartography, geology, soil science, oceanography, hydrology, meteorology, climatology, agriculture, engineering, environmental studies, and matters of military concern.

Extractions: HOME OFFICE OF SPACE COMMERCIALIZATION POLICY ISSUES SPEECHES, REPORTS, WORKSHOPS Satellite imagery is gaining greater attention as it becomes integrated with online maps, news broadcasts, and other popular information sources. The Office of Space Commercialization played a key role in the emergence of the U.S. commercial remote sensing satellite industry in the 1990s and continues to promote its evolution and growth today. 2005 flood damage in New Orleans (Courtesy of GeoEye) The term "remote sensing" refers to any use of cameras or sensors to observe distant things for example, aerial photography and radar surveillance. The Office of Space Commercialization's interest in remote sensing focuses on the use of commercial satellites to image the Earth from space. The data collected by such satellites has commercial value across a broad range of industries, including real estate, agriculture, insurance, and media. Governments also purchase commercial remote sensing data to support weather prediction, climate change research, land management, and national security reconnaissance activities. The Office of Space Commercialization promotes U.S. commercial remote sensing satellite services by contributing to the development of U.S. Government policies affecting the industry, voicing the industry's interests within U.S. Government interagency discussions, and representing U.S. commercial interests in international negotiations.
