The experiences gathered during the past 30 years support the operational use of irrigation
scheduling based on frequent multi-spectral image data. Currently, the operational use of …

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 …

The FAO-56 procedure for estimating the crop coefficient K c as a function of fraction of
ground cover and crop height has been formalized in this study using a density coefficient K …

Imagery from remote sensing systems, often combined with ancillary ground information, is
able to provide repetitive, synoptic views of key parameters characterizing land surface …

The occurrence of water shortages ascribed to projected climate change, especially in the
Mediterranean region, fosters the interest in remote sensing (RS) applications to optimize …

Most cultivated vineyards worldwide are located in semi-arid and arid regions with a limited
water supply. Skilled vineyard water management is considered the main tool for controlling …

Estimation of evapotranspiration using satellite sensors offers the potential for improved
water management in irrigated areas. However, previous applications of remote sensing to …

Improvements in irrigation management are urgently needed in regions where water
resources for irrigation are being depleted. This paper combines a water balance model with …

The approach combines the basal crop coefficient (K cb) derived from vegetation indices (VI
s) with the daily soil water balance, as proposed in the FAO-56 paper, to estimate daily crop …

Remote sensing has long been used in monitoring and analyzing agricultural activities. Well
prior to the first coining of the term 'remote sensing'in 1958 by Eveyln Pruitt of the US Office …
