Movie ID Title
Final animation composite showing both land-based photographs of seasonal vegetation change alongside satellite data of NDVI over the United States. The animation first starts with photographs of Tamarisk at the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in Utah. These photos then cycle through time showing the changing seasons. They then pull away to reveal NDVI data over the western U.S. The NDVI data continues to cycle through the seasons in synchronization with the photos. Finally, the cycling NDVI data is combined with land cover classification data to create the Tamarisk suitability map. 3332 Deriving the Tamarisk Suitability Map: The Complete Story
NDVI (in shades of green) is the topmost dataset. EVI (in shades of red, orange, and brown) is the middle layer. Landcover (in shades of yellow, orange, and green) is the bottommost layer. 3331 Creating the Tamarisk Habitat Suitability Map (for Science Presentations)
The Annual Vegetation Cycle data (in shades of green) is the topmost dataset in this image. The MODIS Landcover Classification data (in shades of yellow, orange, and green) is the bottommost dataset in this image. 3330 Creating the Tamarisk Habitat Suitability Map (for General Use)
National map produced in August 2005 showing habitat suitability for tamarisk invasion. The states that have the most suitable habitat for Tamarisk are highlighted. 3291 National Map Showing Habitat Suitability for Tamarisk Invasion
This image shows sensible heat flux (watts per square meter) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The warm urban areas have higher positive flux (heat flowing towards the atmosphere) and stand out very distinctly against their surroundings. 3157 Urban Signatures: Sensible Heat Flux (WMS)
This image shows latent heat flux (watts per square meter) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their surroundings, which have more evaporation and therefore greater latent heat flux. 3156 Urban Signatures: Latent Heat Flux (WMS)
This image shows outgoing thermal radiation (watts per square meter) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their less radiative surroundings. 3155 Urban Signatures: Thermal Radiation (WMS)
This image shows evaporation rate (milligrams per square meter per second) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their more evaporative surroundings. 3154 Urban Signatures: Evaporation (WMS)
This image shows average surface temperatures predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. Temperatures range from 9 C to 35 C (48F to 95F), with the hottest areas being red and dark red. Temperatures are generally cooler farther north and at higher elevations. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their surroundings. 3152 Urban Signatures: Temperature (WMS)
This animation shows accumulated rainfall from 2005-01-06 through 2005-01-11. Each frame covers a three-hour period. Each image pixel is 0.25 degrees on a side; the total area covered is 20x20 degrees in longitude and latitude (80x80 pixels). 3148 Heavy Rainfall Leads to Southern California Mudslides (WMS)
