More than 30-year operational satellite data have already been used
for monitoring land, ocean and atmosphere. These applications have
contributed to improve sustainable economy, produce healthy
environment and enhance human life. The Advanced Research Workshop
sponsored by NATO and organized by the USA's National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration and Ukrainian's Space Agency bring the
scientists with the most mature research designed for practical
use. The goals were to select those which is used for services
today and identify the areas to expand research and services.
Scientific and application results of the Workshop presented in
this book can be used today in agriculture, forestry, water
resources, healthy coastal life and fisheries, climate and land
cover change, anthropogenic activities and others. The presented
papers provide information on how to use operational satellites and
in situ measurements for early detection of large-scale droughts,
floods and fires, diagnose crop and pasture annual losses, predict
periods with health/unhealthy vegetation based on such climate
forcing events as ENSO, monitor air quality and geomagnetic
activities, assess land cover trends in responce to global warming
etc. The available satellite/ground information and method is
currently warn with a lead time sufficient to respond, recover and
protect.
