Following the past TropiScat and AfriScat tower-based scatterometer experiments conducted as part of the ESA BIOMASS mission preparation activities, a follow-on experiment referred to as TropiScat-2 has been undertaken in French Guiana since March 2018. Based on new capabilities including C-band acquisitions, this paper addresses the question of te...
Lake fluctuations in river-lake-basin (RLB) systems are highly complex because of the significant interactions of various hydrological variables. Clarifying these interactions would be helpful for understanding the physical mechanisms of lake fluctuations and improving responses to extreme hydrological events (i.e., drought or flood). Though numero...

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd The application of remote sensing techniques for WP ET mapping in data scarce regions is gaining more recognition since it can cover large areas with minimal field observations. Important concerns are the generation of high-resolution WP ET maps and addressing the question on how accurate the results are. This study aims at high...

Characterizing the terrestrial carbon, water and energy cycles depends strongly on a capacity to accurately reproduce the spatial and temporal dynamics of land surface evaporation. For this, and many other reasons, monitoring terrestrial evaporation across multiple space and time scales has been an area of focused research for many decades. Much of...
The impact of climate change could undermine the future grain production as a consequence of increased temperature and drought condition or improve the crop performance owing to the increased CO2 in the atmosphere. Wheat water demand and yield are strictly related to climate conditions of the area where the plants are cropped. In this study, we ass...
The opening and closing of plant stomata regulates the global water, carbon and energy cycles. Biophysical feedbacks on climate are highly dependent on transpiration, which is mediated by vegetation phenology and plant responses to stress conditions. Here, we explore the potential of satellite observations of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence ...
