Using the Valencia and Alacant Anchor Stations, provide surface values of parameters of interest integrated over larger or smaller areas, depending on the spatial resolution of the remote sensing sensor, mainly net radiation, soil moisture and biophysical parameters.
Development of experimental campaigns for testing new sensors in the thermal infrared, as well as validation of remote sensing algorithms and techniques.
Development and improvement of methodologies that allow the estimation of energy fluxes from land surface temperature measurements.
Remote sensing, temperature, emissivity, energy fluxes, chlorophyll-a, seston particles, transparency.
Modelling of temperature and emissivity in the thermal infrared, and obtaining radiative properties of natural surfaces by characterising the dependencies of emissivity on the angle of observation, surface roughness, cavity effects, humidity and components present.
Development of remote sensing and remote sensing techniques to improve the observational capacity of the climate system.
Improvement and adaptation of LST algorithms for various satellites, mainly MSG-SEVIRI, EOS-MODIS, and ENVISAT-AATSR. Design and development of angular field radiometry systems.
