Abstract | Land classification data sets that are required for energy flux modeling of landscape scale remotely sensed data are highly reliant upon vegetation indices for estimating fractional vegetation cover. The visible-near infrared band based index, NDVI, was found inadequate in a previous study of rangelands at El Reno, Oklahoma (SGP97). Bare soil and senescent vegetation, surfaces with quite different energy transport properties, could sometimes not be distinguished. A practical, remote sensor based remedy to this problem was developed from multi-band thermal infrared data, which was used to create an image of spectral emissivity contrast. Vegetative cover, whether green or brown, showed low emissivity contrast, while bare soil surfaces showed high emissivity contrast. When emissivity contrast data were combined with NDVI data, harvested winter wheat could be discriminated from plowed fields, which improved two-source model estimates of surface heat flux. This approach will have wider application when multi-spectral thermal infrared data becomes available from the ASTER instrument. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
