This review surveys current and emerging drought monitoring approaches using satellite
remote sensing observations from climatological and ecosystem perspectives. We argue …

This review surveys the basic theories, observational methods, satellite algorithms, and land
surface models for terrestrial evapotranspiration, E (or λE, ie, latent heat flux), including a …

Satellite based remote sensing offers one of the few approaches able to monitor the spatial
and temporal development of regional to continental scale droughts. A unique element of …

The increasing availability of multi‐scale remotely sensed data and global weather datasets
is allowing the estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) at multiple scales. We present a simple …

The WAter Cycle Multi-mission Observation Strategy–EvapoTranspiration (WACMOS-ET)
project aims to advance the development of land evaporation estimates on global and …

This article reviews the use of optical and microwave remote sensing data for soil and terrain
mapping with emphasis on applications at regional and coarser scales. Remote sensing is …

The first issue of WRR appeared eight years after the launch of Sputnik, but by WRR's 25th
anniversary, only seven papers that used remote sensing had appeared. Over the journal's …

With the advent of new satellite technology, the radiative energy exchanges between Sun,
Earth, and space may now be quantified accurately. Nevertheless, much less is known …

This paper reviews methods for estimating evaporation from landscapes, regions and larger
geographic extents, with remotely sensed surface temperatures, and highlights uncertainties …

An overview of the commonly applied evapotranspiration (ET) models using remotely
sensed data is given to provide insight into the estimation of ET on a regional scale from …
