A Weekly Indicator of Surface Moisture Status from Satellite Data for Operational Monitoring of Crop Conditions

A Weekly Indicator of Surface Moisture Status from Satellite Data for Operational Monitoring of Crop Conditions

The triangle method has been applied to derive a weekly indicator of evaporative fraction on vegetated areas in a temperate region in Northern Italy. Daily MODIS Aqua Land Surface Temperature (MYD11A1) data has been combined with air temperature maps and 8-day composite MODIS NDVI (MOD13Q1/MYD13Q1)...
