Complementarity of ResourceSat-1 AWiFS and Landsat TM/ETM+ sensors

► Design of AWiFS sensor substantially different that Landsat Thematic Mapper. ► Imagery comparison reveals similar measurement performance. ► AWiFS sensor appears to be degrading radiometrically over time. ► The AWiFS shortwave infrared sensor image geometry differs from VNIR bands. ► Agriculture and forest applications produce similar products using either sensor.
