Infos

Handbook of Satellite Land Products compiles the key information of as many satellite products as possible for each essential land variable. It provides a comprehensive list of openly accessible high-level satellite products that characterize the essential land surface variables of the Earth system, including the original data sources, inversion algorithms, product characteristics, validation accuracy, and any existing applications. Each product includes satellite data inversion methodology and high-level product generation and application information, allowing for comparison of different products and selection of the correct ones for different applications. This book will help researchers, professors, and graduate students grasp the knowledge of existing satellite land products, understand the advantages and limitations, and follow the practical application examples.

Autor

Shunlin Liang is Chair Professor at the Department of Geography, University of Hong Kong. His main research interests focus on estimating land surface essential variables from satellite data, global satellite product generation, and global environmental change. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and an Editor-in-Chief of Science of Remote Sensing. He has published over 430 peer-reviewed journal papers, 10 special issues of different journals, and authored/edited eight books. He was also Editor-in-Chief of the nine-volume reference work “Comprehensive Remote Sensing” (Elsevier, 2017) and has led to develop the Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) products suite and the Hi-GLASS products. Han Ma is Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Geography, the University of Hong Kong. She was a research assistant at the University of Maryland, USA in 2017, and a postdoctorial fellow at Wuhan University, China from 2018-2022. Her main research interests include radiative transfer modeling and inversion of land surface/atmospheric variables, and high-level global satellite product generation/analysis. She developed two global satellite products (leaf area index and fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation) at 250m spatial resolution from 2000-2021, which are the global LAI and FAPAR time-series products with the highest spatial resolution in the world.
