The main purpose is to take full advantage of remotely sensed data to map Essential Climate Variables (ECVs): LAI, FAPAR, PAR, canopy water content, biomass and land cover and/or ecosystem functional type. Maps of ECVs are produced from EO reflectance and other auxiliary data.
This line of research aims to study the spatio-temporal variability of temperature and precipitation, as well as other climatic elements, in the context of the theory of climate change in a vulnerable area such as the Mediterranean, with special emphasis on the Valencian territory.
Application of remote sensing techniques in the study of climatic processes, especially those related to radiation, energy and water balances on the Earth's Surface.
