Akdim, N. (author), Alfieri, S.M. (author), Habibi, A. (author), Choukri, A. (author), Cheruiyot, E.K. (author), Labbassi, K. (author), Menenti, M. (author)The appraisal of crop water requirements (CWR) is crucial for the management of water resources, especially in arid and semi-arid regions where irrigation represents the largest consumer of water, such as the Doukkala area, western Morocco. Simple and (semi) empirical approaches have been applied to estimate CWR: the first one is called Kc-NDVI...journal article 2014

Wang, J. (author), González-Jorge, Higinio (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Arias-Sánchez, Pedro (author), Menenti, M. (author)Mountain roads are the lifelines of remote areas but are often situated in complicated settings and prone to landslides, rock fall, avalanches and damages due to surface water runoff. The impact and likelihood of these types of hazards can be partly assessed by a detailed geometric analysis of the road environment. Field measurements in...journal article 2014

Maffei, C. (author), Menenti, M. (author)Various factors contribute to forest fire hazard, and among them vegetation moisture is the one that dictates susceptibility to fire ignition and propagation. The scientific community has developed a number of spectral indices based on remote sensing measurements in the optical domain for the assessment of vegetation equivalent water thickness ...journal article 2014

Hosseini Aria, S.E. (author), Menenti, M. (author), Gorte, B.G.H. (author)Reliability analysis is usually applied to evaluate classification procedures with different classes. In this research, we have applied the analysis to two different band sets to find out which one is more reliable. These band sets provide the most informative spectral regions covered by hyperspectral images. The informative regions are...journal article 2014

Phan Hien, V. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Menenti, M. (author)The Tibetan Plateau is an essential source of water for Southeast Asia. The runoff from its ~34 000 glaciers, which occupy an area of ~50 000 km2, feeds Tibetan lakes and major Asian rivers like the Indus and Brahmaputra. Reported glacial shrinkage likely has an impact on the runoff. Unfortunately, accurate quantification of glacial changes is...journal article 2013

Wang, J. (author), González-Jorge, H. (author), Lindenbergh, R. (author), Arias-Sánchez, P. (author), Menenti, M. (author)Roads play an indispensable role as part of the infrastructure of society. In recent years, society has witnessed the rapid development of laser mobile mapping systems (LMMS) which, at high measurement rates, acquire dense and accurate point cloud data. This paper presents a way to automatically estimate the required excavation volume when...journal article 2013

Shi, J. (author), Menenti, M. (author), Lindenbergh, R. (author)Glaciers in the Tibetan mountains are expected to be sensitive to turbulent sensible and latent heat fluxes. One of the most significant factors of the energy exchange between the atmospheric boundary layer and the glacier is the roughness of the glacier surface. However, methods to parameterize this roughness for glacier surfaces in remote...journal article 2013

Alfieri, S.M. (author), De Lorenzi, F. (author), Menenti, M. (author)This paper presents a new procedure to map time series of air temperature (Ta) at fine spatial resolution using time series analysis of satellite-derived land surface temperature (LST) observations. The method assumes that air temperature is known at a single (reference) location such as in gridded climate data with grid size of the order of 35...journal article 2013

Zhou, J. (author), Hu, G. (author), Menenti, M. (author)Reconstruction of time series of satellite image data to obtain continuous, consistent and accurate data for downstream applications is playing a crucial role in remote sensing applications such as vegetation dynamics, land cover changes, land-atmosphere interactions and climate changes. Among the numerous methods and models developed to...journal article 2013

Maffei, C. (author), Alfieri, S.M. (author), Menenti, M. (author)The objective of the present research was the characterisation of fire hazard using temporal sequences of land surface temperature (LST) derived from Terra-MODIS measurements. The investigation was based on a complete sequence of MODIS LST data from 2000 to 2006 on Campania (Italy) and on a data set of fires officially recorded in the area in...journal article 2013

Ghafarian Malamiri, H.R. (author), Menenti, M. (author), Jia, L. (author), den Ouden, H. (author)Time series satellite observations of land surface properties, like Land Surface Temperature (LST), often feature missing data or data with anomalous values due to cloud coverage, malfunction of sensor, atmospheric aerosols, defective cloud masking and retrieval algorithms. Preprocessing procedures are needed to identify anomalous observations...journal article 2012

Phan Hien, V. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Menenti, M. (author)The Tibetan plateau is covered by hundreds of larger and smaller lakes. Until recently there was no method to monitor their water level variations due to lack of in-situ measurements or unfitness of available remote sensing methods. However the ICESat/GLA14 laser altimetry data provide global surface elevations for land during 18 one-month...journal article 2012

Vegetation response to upstream water yield in the Heihe River by time series analysis of MODIS dataJia, L.I. (author), Shang, H. (author), Menenti, M. (author)Liquid and solid precipitation is abundant in the high elevation, upper reach of the Heihe basin. The development of modern irrigation schemes in the middle reach of the basin is taking up an increasing share of fresh water resources, endangering the oasis and traditional irrigation systems in the lower reach.
