Comparison of ESA climate change initiative land cover to CORINE land cover over Eastern Europe and the Baltic States from a regional climate modeling perspective

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
High-quality land use and land cover (LULC) information is of crucial importance for the performance of regional climate models (RCMs), in particular at high spatial resolutions down to convection permitting scales below 4 km.

Mapping of ESA's Climate Change Initiative land cover data to plant functional types for use in the CLASSIC land model [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2023
Plant functional types (PFTs) are used to represent vegetation distribution in land surface models (LSMs). Previous studies have shown large differences in the geographical distribution of PFTs currently used in various LSMs, which may arise from the ...

Uncertainty Characterisation & Validation within ESA Fire-CCI [PDF]

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
Uncertainty characterisation and validation are critical phases to generate any Essential Climate Variable (ECV), and therefore both have been included as key deliverables of the ESA CCI programme [1]. All products generated by the CCI are required to have an associated per pixel uncertainty characterisation.

Relative Strengths Recognition of Nine Mainstream Satellite-Based Soil Moisture Products at the Global Scale

Remote Sensing, 2022
Soil moisture (SM) is a crucial driving variable for the global land surface-atmosphere water and energy cycle. There are now many satellite-based SM products available internationally and it is necessary to consider all available SM products under the ...

Assessment of land cover on soil erosion in Lam Phra Phloeng watershed by USLE model [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Soil loss due to surface erosion has been a global problem not just for developing countries but also for developed countries. One of the factors that have greatest impact on soil erosion is land cover.

Spatiotemporal features of the soil moisture across Northwest China using remote sensing data, reanalysis data, and global hydrological model

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Soil moisture is an important factor affecting the change of land surface hydrological processes and the distribution of material and energy exchanges between the land and atmosphere and vegetation’s temporal and spatial distributions, especially in arid

Evaluation of Satellite-Derived Surface Soil Moisture Products over Agricultural Regions of Canada

Remote Sensing, 2020
Soil moisture is a critical indicator for climate change and agricultural drought, but its measurement is challenging due to large variability with land cover, soil type, time, space and depth.

ESA CCI Soil Moisture for improved Earth system understanding: State-of-the art and future directions [PDF]

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2017
Climate Data Records of soil moisture are fundamental for improving our understanding of long-term dynamics in the coupled water, energy, and carbon cycles over land. To respond to this need, in 2012 the European Space Agency (ESA) released the first multi-decadal, global satellite-observed soil moisture (SM) dataset as part of its Climate Change ...
