ESA’s Sentinels for Evapotranspiration project, or Sen-ET for short, is exploiting machine learning techniques to combine Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 data for a 20m daily evapotranspiration monitoring in agricultural fields. Read the full story.
Accurate measurement of precipitation over the relevant space and time scales is a challenge. The SMOS+RAINFALL project has the objective to ingest satellite soil moisture information derived from ASCAT, SMOS and SMAP into the latest state-of-the-art satellite precipitation products like those derived from the Global Precipitation Measurement mission (GPM) to enhance rainfall observation accuracy over land. Access the datasets generated by …
The objective of this ITT is to develop, test and demonstrate a prototype Agriculture Virtual Laboratory (AVL) as a community open science tool, where EO satellite data, algorithms and derived products can be accessed, shared, visualised, processed and validated. In order to achieve this objective, the tool shall provide access and facilitate sharing of relevant …
