Forthcoming superspectral satellite missions dedicated to land monitoring, as well as
planned imaging spectrometers, will unleash an unprecedented data stream. The …

Earth system models and many other applications require biogeophysical variables, and
remote sensing is the only means by which to estimate them at the appropriate spatial and …

Introduction Unsafe behavior increases the risk of accident at workplaces and needs to be
managed properly. The aim of the present study was to provide a model for managing and …

Initiated in 1984, the Committee Earth Observing Satellites' Working Group on Calibration
and Validation (CEOS WGCV) pursues activities to coordinate, standardize and advance …

Hyperspectral data sets contain useful information for characterizing vegetation canopies
not previously available from multi-spectral data sources. However, to make full use of the …

The radiative transfer model (RTM) simulates forward spectral reflectance of vegetation and
is used to estimate physical parameters using backwards inversion. However, differentiation …

The novel modification in the WCM (mWCM) is proposed in this study to simulate total
backscattering contribution and to improve Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Soil Moisture (SM) …

The impacts of wildfires on ecosystems and the factors contributing to their occurrence are
increasingly receiving global attention. Advances in satellite remote sensing and information …

Real-time/near real-time inversion of land surface biogeophysical variables from satellite
observations is required to monitor rapid land surface changes, and provide the necessary …

Above-ground biomass (AGB) is important to estimate total carbon pools in forests, where it
has a key role in the global carbon cycle. We assessed correlations between spectral …
