Huete, A, Dian, K, Miura, T, Rodriguez, EP, Gao, X,
Ferreira, LG. “Overview of the radiometric and biophysical performance of the
MODIS vegetation indices”. Remote
Sensing of Environment (2002). 83. December 2014.
They analyzed MODIS NDVI and EVI, and evaluated the
performance and validity against NOAA-14 AVHRR NDVI temporal profiles.
Tucker, CJ;
Pinzon, JE; Brown, ME; Slayback, DA; Pak, EW; Mahoney, R; Vermote, EF); El
Saleous, N. “An extended AVHRR 8-km NDVI dataset compatible with MODIS and
SPOT vegetation NDVI data”. International Journal of Remote Sensing (2005).
26. December 2014.
Data from
AVHRR 4km coverage was transformed into 8 km data. It included volcanic stratospheric aerosol
correction, DNVI normalization, correcting dropped scan lines, navigation
errors, discontinues and data drop outs.
Lu, D,
Mausel, P, Brondizio, E, Moran, E. “Change detection techniques”. International
Journal of Remote Sensing (2004). 25. December 2014
They
summarize change detection technique changes over time. They discuss algorithm changes and new
techniques for satellite and airborne sesnsors described in previous
literature.

DW; Bondeau, A; Moore, B; Churkina, G; Nemry, B; Ruimy, A; Schloss, AL.
“Comparing global models of terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP):
overview and key results”. Global Change Biology (1999). December 2014.
Seventeen
models of terrestrial biogeochemistry compared to seasonal changes in NPP
from NOAA/AVHRR, carbon flux simulations, and vegetation and carbon flux
models. Global NPPP and annual NPP
coincided. They were also affected by
water and seasonal variation,

N; Vik, JO; Mysterud, A; Gaillard, JM; Tucker, CJ; Stenseth, NC. “Using the
satellite-derived NDVI to assess ecological responses to environmental
change”. Trends in Ecology & Evolution (2005). December 2014.
Analyze how
NDVI is used in ecological studies and discuss how it can be used in
environmental change literature.
