Do the newly developed models of bare soil surface reflectance and thermal infrared image analysis improve the spatial estimation of soil water properties in the Noordoostpolder region, The Netherlands?

Methodology <br/>Agriculture is an important sector to provide in our needs. Since 2000, the arable land per farmer increased with 66%. To help farmers managing their increasing amount of arable land, it is important to develop new techniques in example based on remote sensing data. One of the key parameters for agricultural management is the...

Assessing the Accuracy of Water Temperature Determination and Monitoring of Inland Surface Waters Using Landsat 7 ETM+ Thermal Infrared Images

This research evaluates the potential of thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing to determine and continuously monitor the horizontal water temperature distribution of inland surface water bodies. Usually, monitoring temporal and spatial variability of surface water temperature takes place by measurement networks of in-situ gauges, but these...
