Vegetation monitoring for Guatemala: a comparison between simulated VIIRS and MODIS satellite data Vegetation monitoring for Guatemala: a comparison between simulated VIIRS and MODIS satellite data
The advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) and moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) data are being widely used for vegetation monitoring across the globe. However, sensors will discontinue collecting these data in the near future. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is planning to launch a new sensor, visible infrared imaging radiometer suite (VIIRS)...

Estimating actual evapotranspiration from irrigated fields using a simplified surface energy balance approach Estimating actual evapotranspiration from irrigated fields using a simplified surface energy balance approach
Food security assessment in many developing countries, such as Afghanistan, is vital because the early identification of populations at risk can enable the timely and appropriate actions needed to avert widespread hunger, destitution, or even famine. The assessment is complex, requiring the simultaneous consideration of multiple socioeconomic and environmental variables. Since large and...

Users Manual for the Geospatial Stream Flow Model (GeoSFM) Users Manual for the Geospatial Stream Flow Model (GeoSFM)
The monitoring of wide-area hydrologic events requires the manipulation of large amounts of geospatial and time series data into concise information products that characterize the location and magnitude of the event. To perform these manipulations, scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS), with the cooperation of the U.S. Agency...

A linear geospatial streamflow modeling system for data sparse environments A linear geospatial streamflow modeling system for data sparse environments
In many river basins around the world, inaccessibility of flow data is a major obstacle to water resource studies and operational monitoring. This paper describes a geospatial streamflow modeling system which is parameterized with global terrain, soils and land cover data and run operationally with satellite‐derived precipitation and evapotranspiration datasets. Simple linear methods...
