Wildfires are uncontrolled fires which burn in an area of combustible vegetation. In the right conditions, they can quickly become out of control and hence early identification, as well as ongoing monitoring and management, is critical. The challenge to monitor and control wildfires is increased due to their location in rural or remote areas, which […]
Spaceborne hyperspectral sensors provide contiguous spectral coverage of the Earth’s surface within the optical and infrared spectrum, enabling the derivation of several biogeophysical products and user applications. Atmospheric correction (AC) is essential for processing satellite data because it removes the effects of the atmosphere (e.g., aerosols, water vapor and dust) that alter the signal before […]

The CEOS Analysis Ready Data (CEOS-ARD) Product Family Specifications (PFS) are a suite of documents that detail minimum requirements for ‘analysis ready’ satellite Earth observation data across various domains. Ensuring datasets are compliant with the CEOS-ARD PFS means they should be more suited to immediate analysis by more users with a minimum of additional […]
