    Hydrological-Processes-An-International-Journal-Special-issue-on-Remote-Sensing.pdf

    This special issue of Hydrological Processes contains a selection of the most significant reports presented at the Flood Monitoring Workshop held at the ESA/ESRIN premises in Frascati, Italy on 26-27 June 1995. It is intended to provide the reader with an overall assessment of the capability of remote sensing to contribute to flood risk management, including the advantages and limitations, as well as critical areas, for further improvement.

    ERS-1/2 ATSR Averaged Surface Temperature [AT1/AT2_AR__2P]

    The Averaged Surface Temperature Product (AST) contains averaged geophysical data at two different resolutions, and with respect to two different averaging schemes: measurement data sets at resolutions of 0.5 by 0.5 degrees and 10 by 10 arcmin with respect to a latitude/longitude grid; other data sets contain data averaged over equal area cells of 50 by 50 km and 17 by 17 km aligned with the satellite ground track. Both top-of-atmosphere and surface data sets are provided. The surface temperature data sets provide, for sea cells, nadir and dual view sea surface temperatures, and for land cells, land surface temperature (currently 11 micron BT) and NDVI. Cloud data is also included. No ADS are included in the AST product; auxiliary data is contained within the MDS. The data sets of the AST product are arranged by surface type and resolution. The 3rd reprocessing of ATSR data was performed in 2013; the processing updates that have been put in place and the scientific improvements are outlined in full in the User Summary Note for the Third ERS ATSR Reprocessing.
