Results

Here we post the most recent activities and results, ordered in chronological order from newest to oldest.

• Initial results regarding the validation of ECOSTRESS ET against EC data

  ET estimates, using ECOSTRESS LST and TSEB model, were validated at sites from the ICOS Warm Winter 2020 database.

• First results regarding crop yield and its relation with ET

  First tests using crop model simulations showed promising results in predicting wheat yield based on the actual vs. potential evapotranspiration deficit and peak biomass.

• Online Meeting with African Early Adopters

  An online meeting organized by ESA was held between all EO Africa Explorers projects.

• Online Meeting with African Early Adopters

  A joint online meeting with all African Early Adopters and the South African EO experts was organized by DHI, in order to better survey their project needs and expectations, and the data they would have available for prototype evaluation.

• 2nd Workshop on International Cooperation in Spaceborne Imaging Spectroscopy

  An overview of the project was presented during the 2nd Workshop on International Cooperation in Spaceborne Imaging Spectroscopy, that was held in Frascati from 19 to 21 October 2021.

• Collection of In Situ and EO Data

  We have gathered eddy covariance data for the validation of the ET product from the ICOS and European Fluxes Database Cluster. In addition, in synergy with the ET4FAO project lead by DHI, we have also access to some limited Eddy Covariance data in Africa.
