The Earth surface thermal infrared (TIR) radiation shows conspicuously an anisotropic
behavior just like the bi-directional reflectance of visible and near infrared spectral domains …

The Sentinel satellite missions are designed to provide remote-sensing observational
capability to many diverse operational applications, including in the field of agriculture and …

In the context of increasing environmental change, monitoring crop conditions throughout

Almost fifty years have passed since the idea to retrieve a value for Evapotranspiration (ET)
using remote sensing techniques was first considered. Numerous ET models have been …

The monitoring of the water cycle at the Earth surface which tightly interacts with the climate

Thermal remote sensing has been used to detect oil slicks, yet estimation of slick thickness
has largely remained unfeasible, mainly because the optimal detection time during a day …

Understanding and managing the health effects of ambient temperature (T a) in a warming,
urbanizing world requires spatially-and temporally-resolved T a at high resolutions. This is …

Evapotranspiration estimates can be derived from remote sensing data and ancillary, mostly
meterorological, information. For this purpose, two types of methods are classically used: the …

Robust information on consumptive water use (evapotranspiration, ET) derived from remote
sensing can significantly benefit water decision-making in agriculture, informing irrigation …
