---|---|
Description techniqueVandersat high resolution land surface temperature data are collected from passive microwave satellites, which measure microwave signals that are naturally radiating from the Earth’s surface. | Accuracy / Resolution100 m. |
Case studyMainly used as near real time product by:
| |
Also fits domainFreshwater, Land. | |
Benefits
| LimitationsNot free. Price depends on area size. Likely price range for Northland Region for e.g. 5 year historical dataset ~ 30-50kNZ$ (estimate May 2021) |
Applicability for NorthlandYes, it could be used for drought studies, initially to get coverage of whole region of historic data. If validated, near-real time delivery is feasible. | |
