Scientific paper

Space exploration has changed our visual perception of planet Earth. In the 1950s, satellites revolutionized weather forecasting. Astronaut photography in the early 1970s showed us the Earth in color, the so-called `Blue Marble' (Figure 1, left). Since 1972, satellite sensors have been acquiring atmosphere, land, ice, and ocean data with increasing spectral and spatial resolution. Satellite remote sensing systems such as the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) help us to understand and monitor Earth's physical, chemical, and biological processes [Running et al., 1999]. The false-color Earth image shown in the center of Figure 1, named Blue Marble, was created in 2000 with data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES 8), and the Sea viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS). New sensors such as the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), aboard NASA Terra and Aqua satellites, allow the derivation of a wide range of geophysical parameters from measured radiances of a single sensor.
