Time-series snowmelt detection over the Antarctic using Sentinel-1 SAR images on Google Earth Engine

Dong Liang et al.

Summary: The Antarctic ice sheet, sensitive to climate change, is threatened by the flow of inland glaciers and collapsing ice shelves. This study introduces a framework to extract freeze-thaw information at a continental scale using SAR data from Sentinel-1 satellites, allowing for accurate assessment of surface material loss and albedo change.

Optimizing a backscatter forward operator using Sentinel-1 data over irrigated land

Sara Modanesi et al.

Summary: The global amount of water used for agricultural purposes is increasing, making the quantification of irrigation crucial. Studies are increasingly focusing on the synergistic use of models and satellite data to detect and quantify irrigation due to limited in situ observations. Combining large-scale land surface models (LSMs) with satellite information through data assimilation offers an optimal way to quantify irrigation water usage.

Normalizing the Local Incidence Angle in Sentinel-1 Imagery to Improve Leaf Area Index, Vegetation Height, and Crop Coefficient Estimations

Gregoriy Kaplan et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates two transformations that facilitate collective use of Sentinel-1 imagery for agricultural monitoring of several crops in Israel. These transformations improve the prediction accuracy of crop coefficient, leaf area index, and crop height, making vegetation monitoring using SAR imagery more effective.
