The International Workshop on High-Resolution Thermal Earth Observation is calling for papers for the following themes:
1 – International context and project status
Includes (but not limited to):
Mission design, mission ground segment
Data distribution, science plans, calibration/validation plans
Overall definition of products
Exploring synergies between current and future space-based systems
2 – Products & processings
Includes (but not limited to):
Level 1 (in-orbit calibration, radiometric and geometric correction of the products) processings
Level 2 (atmospheric correction algorithms, Temperature-Emissivity separation, Directional effects, Cloud mask) processings
Level 1 & 2 performance assessment
Associated calibration/validation activities
3 – Ecosystem stress & water use
Includes (but not limited to):
Monitoring of water & energy exchange of the continental biosphere
Drought assessment for early mitigation of crop failures
Irrigation management through optimal irrigation scheduling based on crop water requirements and improving water use efficiency
Crop monitoring and yield forecasting
4 – Coastal and inland waters
Includes (but not limited to):
Assessment of the sub-mesoscale activity in relation with coastal ecosystems productivity and of gas fluxes
Water quality, algae blooms, fish resource, fresh water resurgences, water discharges and storm surges
5 – Urban microclimate monitoring
Includes (but not limited to):
Urban heat island dynamic mapping & issuance of heat alerts/ warnings
urban and peri-urban hydrology studies
6 – Cryosphere
Includes (but not limited to):
Monitoring of the cryosphere in polar and mountainous regions, including seasonal snow, glaciers, frozen ground, lake and river ice.
Societal applications including snowmelt-runoff and avalanche forecast
7 – Solid Earth
Includes (but not limited to):
Volcanic activity (detection of lava hot spots, study of lava flows, early detection of volcanic ash clouds)
Thermal anomalies (sub-surface coal fires)
Soil emissivities for geothermal exploration
8 – Downstream activities and applications
Includes (but not limited to):
Potential commercial use of the distributed products
9 – Products demo
Demonstrations with simulated products, access to the distribution gateways and typical use cases.
