| Scope (Session Description) |
With the launch of third-generation geostationary satellites, such as Himawari-8/9, the GOES-R series, Meteosat Third Generation (MTG), Fengyun-4, and GeoKompsat-2A, Earth observation has entered a new phase. These satellites carry advanced sensors with spectral bands suitable for terrestrial monitoring, similar to those on polar-orbiting satellites. They enable high-frequency (e.g., 10-minute) monitoring of key land parameters, including land surface temperature/albedo, vegetation indices, evapotranspiration, and photosynthetic activity. Combining data from these geostationary satellites with data from polar-orbiting satellite sensors like Terra/Aqua MODIS, Suomi NPP/NOAA-20 VIIRS, and GCOM-C SGLI makes global, consistent land monitoring possible.
This session invites presentations on methods for estimating land surface parameters using these geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites, as well as efforts in inter-calibration and cross-validation using GEO and LEO data. We welcome studies on in-situ validation efforts and new applications of these datasets for monitoring and understanding various phenomena, such as heatwaves, drought, and long-term climate change impacts. Additionally, studies on atmospheric factors, such as cloud cover and aerosols, and their influence on land surface conditions are also highly encouraged. |
