Taking the Earth’s Temperature: Monitoring Evapotranspiration and Drought at Field to Continental Scales using Thermal Remote Sensing
نویسنده
چکیده
This article will demonstrate the utility of a thermal-based remote sensing technique for monitoring evapotranspiration (ET), vegetation health/stress, and soil moisture status at local to continental scales. The paper is intended for researchers in a broad range of scientific disciplines – from the biosciences, atmospheric sciences, and hydrology – and also for policy makers in environmental and water regulatory agencies.

Evaluation of remote sensing indicators in drought monitoring using machine learning algorithms (Case study: Marivan city)
Remote sensing indices are used to analyze the Spatio-temporal distribution of drought conditions and to identify the severity of drought. This study, using various drought indices generated from Madis and TRMM satellite data extracted from Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. Drought conditions in Marivan city from February to November for the years 2001 to 2017 were analyzed based on spatial a...

Thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing of landsurface temperature (LST) provides valuable information about the sub-surface moisture status required for estimating evapotranspiration (ET) and detecting the onset and severity of drought. While empirical indices measuring anomalies in LST and vegetation amount (e.g., as quantified by the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; NDVI) have demonstra...
