[1] Carbon flux models that are largely driven by remotely sensed data can be used to estimate gross primary productivity (GPP) over large areas, but despite the importance of peatland ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, relatively little attention has been given to determining their success in these ecosystems. This paper is the first to explore the potential of chlorophyll‐based vegetation...

Three-temperatures model (3T model) was a recently proposed algorithm, which could be used to estimate actual evapotranspiration (ET) and evaluate environmental quality. The key parameters included are air temperature, land surface temperature and reference land temperature. Compared with other conventional ET estimation algorithms, site-specific parameters, such as surface resistance and aerod...

Temperature is an important aspect of land–atmosphere studies and plays a key role in urban environmental change. With the continuous development satellite remote sensing sensors, technology has become means obtaining large-scale land surface temperature (LST) data. LST can be calculated from thermal infrared band data images to analyze changes determine its relationship with type. In this stud...

Several scientific programs, including the Mediterranean Forecasting System Toward Environmental Predictions (MFSTEP project), request high space and time resolutions of surface wind speed and direction. The purpose of this paper is to focus on surface wind improvements over the global Mediterranean Sea, based on the blending near real time remotely sensed wind observations and ECMWF wind analy...

The reliable estimation of spatially distributed Land Surface Temperature (LST) is useful for monitoring regional land surface heat fluxes. A single-channel method is developed to derive the LST over the Heihe River Basin in China using data from the infrared sensor (IRS) onboard the Chinese “Environmental and Disaster Monitoring and Forecasting with a Small Satellite Constellation” (HJ-1B for ...

Several scientific programs, including the Mediterranean Forecasting System Toward Environmental Predictions (MFSTEP project), request high space and time resolutions of surface wind speed and direction. The purpose of this paper is to focus on surface wind improvements over the global Mediterranean Sea, based on the blending near 5 real time remotely sensed wind observations and ECMWF wind ana...
