Session Proposal: Surface-Atmosphere Interactions: Scaling Fluxes with Remote Sensing (AGU25)

B086
Surface-Atmosphere Interactions: Scaling Fluxes with Remote Sensing

Session ID#: 251074

Session Description:
As flux tower and remote sensing (RS) communities converge through shared goals in resource management and environmental monitoring, the need for scale-aware data integration has never been more urgent. This session builds on recent outcomes from the AmeriFlux–NEON–CarbonDew workshop series “Remote Sensing and Fluxes Upscaling for Real-world Impact” and will focus on advancing methods and applications that link eddy covariance fluxes with RS observations across spatial and temporal scales. We welcome contributions including, but not limited to: (i) Flux attribution and upscaling using RS; (ii) Ground-truthing and cross-validation across RS, flux towers, and landscapes; (iii) Advances in process modelling, machine learning and AI (or their combination) for integrating flux and RS data; (iv) Novel RS techniques (e.g., hyperspectral, thermal, lidar) in flux science; (v) Applications in agriculture, forestry, urban systems, and land management, and; (vi) Benchmark datasets, shared tools, and collaborative platforms.
