This review surveys current and emerging drought monitoring approaches using satellite
remote sensing observations from climatological and ecosystem perspectives. We argue …

Vegetation 'greenness' characterized by spectral vegetation indices (VIs) is an integrative
measure of vegetation leaf abundance, biochemical properties and pigment composition …

Vegetation is a highly dynamic component of the Earth surface and substantially alters the
water cycle. Particularly the process of oxygenic plant photosynthesis determines vegetation …

Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing: An Environmental Approach, Third Edition, is a
definitive guide to remote sensing systems that focuses on satellite-based remote sensing …

Several global gross primary production (GPP) and evapotranspiration (ET) remote sensing
products exist, mainly provided by machine-learning (eg MPI-BGC) and semi-empirical (eg …

Remote sensing datasets are increasingly being used to provide spatially explicit large
scale evapotranspiration (ET) estimates. Extensive evaluation of such large scale estimates …

Obtaining accurate estimates of evapotranspiration is a key issue in many fields like
hydrology, ecology, and agriculture. There exist different ways, including physical-based …

Actual evapotranspiration (AET) is one of the decisive factors controlling the water balance
at the catchment level, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions, but measured data for …

Protected Agriculture (PA) presents a sustainable solution for food production in hot and arid
environments. Harsh climate and the water deficit are obstacles to all year round cultivation …

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key variable in terrestrial water, energy and carbon cycles. ET
products have proliferated. This study evaluates ten monthly, globally available products …
