As an unprecedented stream of decametric hyperspectral observations becomes available from recent and upcoming spaceborne missions, effective algorithms are required to retrieve vegetation biophysical biochemical variables such as leaf area index (LAI) canopy chlorophyll content (CCC). In the context missions Environmental Mapping Analysis Program (EnMAP), Precursore Iperspettrale della Missione Applicativa (PRISMA), Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission for Environment (CHIME), Surface...
To better characterize the temporal dynamics of vegetation biophysical variables, a variety automated in situ measurement techniques have been developed recent years. In this study, we investigated digital hemispherical photography (DHP) and wireless quantum sensors, which were installed at two sites under Copernicus Ground Based Observations for Validation (GBOV) project. Daily estimates plant area index (PAI) fraction absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) obtained,...
<p>Copernicus is a European Union Earth Observation program, dedicated to monitor our planet and its environment, giving free access remote sensing data derived products. For proper use in environmental monitoring scientific applications, it fundamental guarantee high quality consistency of these satellite One the possibilities ensure product perform quantitative comparisons products with corresponding situ observation. Two options can then be considered for ground sources:...
<p>The <em>Valencia Anchor Station</em> (VAS) was set up by the <em>University of Valencia</em> at very end year 2001 starting its operations on 1st January 2002. Since then, uninterruptedly, <em>Climatology from Satellites Group</em> (GCS) has developed a constant activity addressed to difficult task characterising an area sufficiently large as also serve reference site for scientific...
<p>The abandonment of traditional agricultural land is a challenge increasing importance in recent years. In Spain, the annual rate lands has been growing leading to several social and economic impacts. The environmental consequences cultivation can directly impact benefits that human beings obtain from them. Furthermore, affects ecosystem services, defined as humans or indirectly ecosystems (Constanza et al., 1997).  Besides product provision, services help...
<p>The <em>Valencia Anchor Station</em> (VAS) is an Earth Observation super site run by the <em>University of Valencia</em>, where a fair number satellite remote sensing missions are validated. Within framework Joint ESA-EUMETSAT “<em>OLCI Land Validation</em> (OLCI-Land-Val)” project, and <em>Joint Research Center</em>...
