Satellite images provide an accurate, continuous, and synoptic view of seamless global
extent. Within the fields of remote sensing and image processing, land surface change …

Crop monitoring information is essential for food security and to improve our understanding
of the role of agriculture on climate change, among others. Remotely sensing optical and …

Crop growth simulation models have become important tools to assess and develop deficit
irrigation strategies especially in arid and semi-arid regions. In this study, we tested the …

A precise estimate of the evapotranspiration (ET) partitioning is fundamental for determining
the crop water needs and optimizing irrigation management. The plant transpiration (T) is …

Monitoring of water resources and a better understanding of the eco-hydrological processes
governing their dynamics are necessary to anticipate and develop measures to adapt to …

Although the real timing and flow rates used for crop irrigation are controlled at the scale of
individual plots by the irrigator, they are not generally known by the farm upper …

Monitoring irrigation is essential for an efficient management of water resources in arid and
semi-arid regions. We propose to estimate the timing and the amount of irrigation throughout …

This paper presents the SPOT-4 (Take 5) experiment, aimed at providing time series of
optical images simulating the repetitivity, the resolution and the large swath of Sentinel-2 …

Precipitation deficit and more extreme drought and precipitation events are expected to
increase in the Mediterranean region due to global warming. A great part of this region is …

A good knowledge of the partitioning of evapotranspiration (ET) is particularly important for
improving crop water productivity, especially in semi-arid regions where irrigated agriculture …
