STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES

The Surface Hydrology Research Group of the University of Connecticut has an opening for one Ph.D. position in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The primary objective of the Ph.D. project is to improve current satellite-based evapotranspiration algorithms with the ultimate goal of obtaining more accurate evaporation estimates across the globe using MODIS datasets. For this purpose, the Ph.D. project involves field experiments (deploying scintillometer and other sensors), remote sensing data (MODIS, ASTER, LANDSAT) and strong quantitative analysis. We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a strong background in evapotranspiration algorithms and image processing. Send letter of application, vita, unofficial transcripts, and contact information for three references to Dr. Mekonnen Gebremichael, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Connecticut, 261 Glenbrook Road Unit 2037, Storrs, CT 06269-20367, USA. For further questions, you may contact us at 860-486-2771 or mekonnen@engr.uconn.edu

Hi fourum, I have just started working with Arcmap, with an Ikonos image of my country, howver I am having a problem for the likes of I cannot seem to get my GPS way points projecting on the image. There is a tendancy that when i do the various projection that lattr pushes the previous away, they apprear at diffrent places in arcmap, can someone help me

I was looking for details on the availability of Evaporative Fraction products from MODIS and I have found in a ppt presentation the following information:

"Current project started in July 2004. Sample products for selected areas are anticipated by July 2005. Regional areas will be generated routinely by July 2006."

this power presentation (1530_ET_wood.ppt) is available at:

http://www.ntsg.umt.edu/MODISVeg.2004/

I wish the best success to this project, it would be extremelly usefull once available

 I have been studyed the MOD16 algorithm for about 2 years. I have analysized and validated it in cropland (YES) in North China Plain, and I found some problems with the algorithm, especially about the parameterization of aerodynamic resistance and canopy resistance, which resulted in the estimated result far from the ground observations in the winter wheat field. Maybe, this is one of reasons why MOD16 product is now released. Now I am trying to modify it.
 If someone is interesting in it. I am looking forward to discussion with you. My email, sunzhigang.sun@gmail.com

Hi,
I also would like to know if the mod16 product is available and what is the acquisition procedure.
Thanks
Nino

I would also like to know when mod16 will be available?
Will the evapotranspiration product be available and what
  would the time resolution be of such a product?

Thank you

Hi
Does somebody know when MOD16 will be available (aprox) similarly to other MODIS products?
Thank you very much
Monica

Hi Arun.
Its not been available to my knowledge in the past.
Cheers,
Matt

Dr. McCabe; Has the product been available to public in the past? If so, could you please tell me how I could get it.

The MODIS ET product is now being organised out of Princeton University. This will not be routinely available in the near future.
Best wishes,
Matt

Hi forum, I am working for the department of geography, auburn university. I am trying to acquire MOD16 ET MODIS product. I could not find it listed on the EOS data gateway from where I get other products like NDVI, LST, SR etc. Is ET not available publicly yet? Can anybody please tell the forum about the product's status? Thanks.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Preeyaphorn,
My name is Marvin Baquero and I am a graduated student at the Central University of Venezuela, South-America. My mean interest is Hydrogeology but at the present I am studying Estimating evapotranspiration using remote sensing MODIS and SEBAL methodology by Dr. Richard G Allen (University of Idago). You can find it in this website http://www.idwr.state.id.us/gisdata/final_reports.htm
Well. I hope that this it can help you!

My name is Sang-Ki Moon. I want to know about scaling law between MODIS and IKONOS. between IKONOS and tower measurements about evapotranspiration. I approach the issue through NDVI of IKONOS and MODIS. I want to exchange information about this scaling issue and flux index making with you. Please send me email if you have comments and information and so on. My major is hydrogeology. I try to link hydrology and micrometeorology.
email : skmun@ysgeo.yonsei.ac.kr

When will this data be available for use?
