Remote sensing of land surface variables for climate change and Earth system modeling

Session ID#: 77148

Session Description:
Through the development of more than half a century, remote sensing has become an irreplaceable data source for monitoring land surface dynamics. Many biophysical, biochemical, geophysical and other variables of land surface have been retrieved from ground-based, airborne and spaceborne remote sensing data. Such remotely sensed data and products of land surface variables provide unique observational evidence for investigating climate change and supply key data inputs for Earth System models. This session solicits contributions on the broad aspects of quantitative remote sensing of land surface variables, including, but not limited to algorithm development, product validation, data analysis and applications.
