Global snow cover forms the largest and most transient part of cryosphere in terms area. On local regional scale, small changes can have drastic effects such as floods droughts, on global scale is planetary albedo. Daily imagery basis long-term observation analysis, only optical sensors offer necessary spatial temporal resolution to address decadal developments impact climate change availabilit...

Abstract In precision agriculture, it is possible to use satellite monitoring of fields. Satellite systems allow you get free images with a resolution up 10 m per pixel, which sufficient determine the state vegetation plants on such indicators as normalized index NDVI. However, NDVI indicator already indicates existing problems correction will not help restore lost yield crops, but only helps p...

Abstract. Snow cover is one of the most active elements cryosphere and plays an important role in surface radiation budget water balance. Optical satellite remote sensing has become tool for snow identification monitoring. The Sentinel-2 A/B data source extraction because its high resolution, which reduces problem snow/ice saturation observations. normalized differential index (NDSI) considerin...

Abstract Early prediction of crop production by remote sensing (RS) may help to plan the harvest and ensure food security. This study aims improve quantification yield, grain protein concentration (GPC), nitrogen (N) output in winter wheat with RS imagery. Ground-truth traits were measured at flowering a field experiment combining four N two water levels central Spain over 2 years. Hyperspectra...

With its unrivaled and global land monitoring capability, the Sentinel-1 mission has been established as a prime provider in SAR-based flood mapping. Compared to suitable single-image algorithms, change-detection methods offer better robustness, retrieving extent from classification of observed changes. This requires data-based parametrization. Moreover, scope automatic services, employed algor...

Soil moisture content (SMC) plays a critical role in soil science via its influences on agriculture, water resources management, and climate conditions. There is broad interest finding relationships between groundwater recharge, characteristics, plant properties for the quantification of SMC. The objective this study was to assess potential optical satellite imagery estimating SMC over cropland...

Spatiotemporal environmental changes lead to disturbances in wild plant habitats, particularly regions characterized by changeable land use and cover. The present study aims characterize habitats the River Nile region of Dakahlia Governorate using a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating remote sensing, GIS sampling analyses. Twenty-four stands representing were geographically identified, sa...

We investigated utilization of Japanese geostationary meteorological satellite, Multi-functional Transport Satellite (MTSAT) data which is able to provide hourly image to a terrestrial monitoring. Firstly, SZA angular effect in reflectance channel was corrected, then algorithms for daily composite were compared. Hourly measurement of MTSAT increased the chance of observing cloud-free land surfa...
