Although soil moisture is a key factor of hydrologic and climate applications, global continuous high resolution datasets are still limited. Here we use physics-informed machine learning to generate global, long-term, spatially dataset surface moisture, using International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN), remote sensing meteorological data, guided with the knowledge physical processes impacting dynamics. Global Surface (GSSM1 km) provides (0-5 cm) at 1 km spatial daily temporal over period...
Abstract. Vegetation productivity is a critical indicator of global ecosystem health and impacted by human activities climate change. A wide range optical sensing platforms, from ground-based to airborne satellite, provide spatially continuous information on terrestrial vegetation status functioning. As Earth observation (EO) data are usually routinely acquired, can be monitored repeatedly over time, reflecting seasonal patterns trends in metrics. Such metrics include gross primary...

Introduction Detecting and monitoring crop stress is crucial for ensuring sufficient sustainable production. Recent advancements in unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) technology provide a promising approach to map key traits indicative of stress. While using single optical sensors mounted on UAVs could be monitor status general sense, implementing multiple that cover various spectral domains allow more precise characterization the interactions between crops biotic or abiotic stressors. Given...
Estimation of essential vegetation properties from remote sensing is crucial for a quantitative understanding the Earth system. Ill-posedness model inversion problem leads to multiple interpretations one satellite observation, and using prior information promising way reduce ill-posedness increase accuracy land surface products. Tobler's first law geography states that "everything related everything else, but near things are more than distant things". Likewise, it expected state an object at...
Sentinel-3 satellite has provided simultaneous observations in the optical (visible, near infrared (NIR), shortwave (SWIR)) and thermal (TIR) domains since 2016, with a revisit time of 1–2 days.

Savannas, characterized by scattered trees with a grass layer, are key ecosystems in semi-arid regions. They profoundly influence global carbon (C) and water fluxes through high seasonal inter-annual variations. Understanding these dynamics at the ecosystem scale is essential for better representing their impacts on Earth’s climate system. Terrestrial models (TEM) such as QUINCY (QUantifying Interactions between terrestrial Nutrient CYcles system), new generation TEM that...
