YSBAT:    Satellites and Sensors      03-15-07

- Define "wisk-broom" vs "push-broom" scanners

- Define radiometric resolution

- Define temporal resolution, differentiating geostationary and sun-synchronous orbits

- Define spectral resolution, differentiating band, number of bands, and band width

- Compare the general spectral resolutions of "narrowband" and "broadband" satellite families, provide and example of each, and describe their common uses

- Define spatial resolution, differentiating IFOV and pixel size

- Compare the general spatial resolutions of "low" "medium" and "high" (coarse to fine) satellite families, provide an example of each, and describe their common uses

- Contrast ETM+, IKONOS and MODIS for which might be most suitable for your project
