Does your work relate to current or future NASA (include reimbursable) work that has value to the conduct of aeronautical and space activities? If so, please explain:
Yes, the work is directly relevant to NASA Earth science missions, particularly ECOSTRESS and SBG. The software provides the capability of producing high resolution visibile to shortwave infrared (VSWIR) images coincident to TIR instrument overpasses. This greatly improves ECOSTRESS's, and potentially SBG's, ability to estimate evapotranspiration. This capability potentially benefits all thermal remote sensing missions and evapotranspiration remote sensing projects.
