Two-Step Downscaling of Trmm 3b43 V7 Precipitation in Contrasting Climatic Regions With Sparse Monitoring: The Case of Ecuador in Tropical South America

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
Spatial prediction of precipitation with high resolution is a challenging task in regions with strong climate variability and scarce monitoring. For this purpose, the quasi-continuous supply of information from satellite imagery is commonly used to ...

Integrating Logistic Regression and Geostatistics for User-Oriented and Uncertainty-Informed Accuracy Characterization in Remotely-Sensed Land Cover Change Information

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2016
Accuracy is increasingly recognized as an important dimension in geospatial information and analyses. A strategy well suited for map users who usually have limited information about map lineages is proposed for location-specific characterization of ...

Spatio-temporal regression kriging for modelling urban NO2 concentrations [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2019
Recently developed urban air quality sensor networks are used to monitor air pollutant concentrations at a fine spatial and temporal resolution. The measurements are however limited to point support. To obtain areal coverage in space and time, interpolation is required.
