Temporal analysis of wildfire emissions in the Northwest of Spain using ESA CCI data
2023The Northwest of the Iberian Peninsula is one of the European regions with the highest frequency of forest fires. However, in the last decade fires in this region have burned larger areas and later in the fire season. Assessing the damage caused by fire and the pollutants released in the burning process is important to understand the effects on ...

Investigating the global representativeness of the ESA CCI RZSM product
Root-Zone Soil Moisture (RZSM) is critical for understanding hydrological processes, predicting droughts, and improving agricultural yield forecasts. As RZSM cannot be directly measured by satellites, a simple Exponential Filter (EF) model is applied to the ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) Soil Moisture (SM) product to derive a global satellite ...Bettina Kroyer +2 more

Improving Orchidee Simulations of Surface Energy Fluxes Assimilating the ESA-CCI LST Product
IGARSS 2024 - 2024 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing SymposiumWe assimilate the ESA-CCI Land Surface Temperature (LST) into the ORCHIDEE land surface model to optimize key parameters, improving the simulations of LST and surface energy fluxes. We first conduct a series of synthetic twin data assimilation experiments to find the best strategy for assimilating LST.
