Definition: Temporal resolution

Category: Land Use/Land Cover

In addition to spatial and spectral resolution, the concept of temporal resolution is also important to
consider in a remote sensing system. The temporal resolution depends on the revisit period, which
refers to the time it takes for a satellite to observe and image the same area on the ground at the
same viewing angle a second time after completion of one entire orbit cycle. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/KS-34-00-407-__-I-EN.pdf#page=34
