SUMMARY:EO Africa Webinar #4: Evapotranspiration from Space
DESCRIPTION:4th on the EO AFRICA R&D Facility Webinar Series \nThis webinar is devoted to evapotranspiration (ET) monitoring with Earth Observation (EO) satellites. \nThe webinar is going to have four parts: \n\nDuring the first 20 minutes\, the concept of ET and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Penman (1948) – Monteith (1965) approach to its modelling will be explained.\nThen in 10 minutes the demonstration of a large scale FAO ET dataset WaPOR https://wapor.apps.fao.org/home/WAPOR_2/1 will take place.\nIn the last 30 minutes\, a local scale Two-Source Energy Balance (TSEB\, Norman\, Kustas and Humes\, 1995) model will be explained followed by its Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP) plugin realization (Sen-ET) demonstration. The sharpening of Sentinel-3 1 km Land Surface Temperature (LST) to Sentinel-2 20 m resolution is the key feature of the approach.\nIf time permits an ESA’s Third Party Missions Programme Landsat-based approach will be demonstrated.\n\nQuestions in between the sections and at the end of the webinar are most welcome. \nThe duration of the webinar is 1 hour. During the webinar\, there is a live chat available. \nRequired: For participants who would like to reproduce the actions of the presenter\, the registration on WaPOR FAO portal https://wapor.apps.fao.org/sign-in is needed. \nOptional: For participants who would like to use the Sen-ET plugin (https://www.esa-sen4et.org/) in their research\, a Windows-based ESA SNAP installation with configured Python 3.6 is needed. The setting-up issues might be tackled during the QA session. An alternative to SNAP is a Python-based version of TSEB\, PyTSEB\, which implies some knowledge of Python. \nThe webinar will be executed under the framework of the EO AFRICA R&D Facility by the University of Twente – Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Earth Observation. \nFor other educational resources from EO AFRICA R&D\, visit: \n\nSeries of Online Courses \nMOOC on Drought Assessment and Monitoring from Space\n\n
