The unavailability of thermal infrared satellite observations in cloudy conditions has limited the spatial distribution and temporal coverage remotely sensed evapotranspiration (ET) data. As a result, number approaches have been developed to reconstruct daily ET data cloudy-sky conditions. Despite wide application these approaches, no work conducted compare their performance over variety climat...

Abstract—Nitrogen fertilizer is the most used and often the most mismanaged nutrient input. Nitrogen management has tremendous implications on crop productivity, quality and environmental stewardship. Sufficient nitrogen is needed to optimum yield and quality. Soil and in-season plant tissue testing for nitrogen status are a time consuming and expensive process. Real time sensing of plant nitro...

Urban land use classification from remotely sensed images has drawn great attention in the past decades. Most researchers derive land use data from remotely sensed images alone, but the results are not quite satisfying for detecting detailed land use classes in urban areas. Fuzzy urban land use classes proposed here consist of a number of fuzzy memberships that offer direct links to findings fr...
