| Scope | We solicit papers on the land physical processes monitoring. In particular, it will include the inversion and use of reflectance products from Landsat(s) and Sentinel 2 sensors with other sensors. For the last years, medium and high resolutions became a useful and a powerful toll for Earth studies. Agriculture applications will be analyzed. An attention to the errors and uncertainties of the described products is suggested.
Topics of interest mainly include (not limited to):
- Use of products in agricultural monitoring applications (such as crop area, crop type, crop growing, yield estimation and prediction, damage assessment);
- Atmospheric corrections (including Cloud screening, Aerosol inversion, Radiative transfer...);
- Agriculture monitoring algorithm description;
- Data integration / Harmonized products from different sensors;
- Theoretical studies for sensors capabilities enhancements (e.g. addition of spectral bands) to future sensors for agriculture application;
- Development and use of new vegetation indices (i.e. red edge) and other products for agriculture applications;
- Evaluation or validation of potential products with ground measurements, official statistics;
- International initiative to enhance Earth-Observing-based agricultural information...
Depending on outcome, we think about a special issue. |
