Satellite Soil Moisture Validation and Application Workshop
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT); GEWEX ; et al. - ESA Publications Division, 2013The objective of the workshop is to discuss and reconcile recent methodological advances in the validation and application of global satellite soil moisture data. The workshop will bring together producers and users of satellite soil moisture data, providing a platform to discuss data quality, error characterization, validation approaches, data assimilation, and the broadening range of applications. The workshop will focus on soil moisture products derived from current and future active and passive microwave sensors operating in the low frequency range from 1 to 10 GHz, including but not ...

Event: Satellite Soil Moisture Validation and Application Workshop (1-3 July 2013; Frascati, Italy)
Published by: ESA Publications Division ; 2013The objective of the workshop is to discuss and reconcile recent methodological advances in the validation and application of global satellite soil moisture data. The workshop will bring together producers and users of satellite soil moisture data, providing a platform to discuss data quality, error characterization, validation approaches, data assimilation, and the broadening range of applications. The workshop will focus on soil moisture products derived from current and future active and passive microwave sensors operating in the low frequency range from 1 to 10 GHz, including but not limited to ASCAT, SMOS, AMSR-E, ASAR, SMAP, Sentinel-1 and any combination thereof. One concrete goal of the workshop will be to collect material for a white paper on “Best practice guidelines for the validation of satellite soil moisture data using in situ data hosted by the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN)” which is foreseen as a contribution to GEWEX, CEOS, TOPC, and WMO.

Mitigating Climate Change through Restoration and Management of Coastal Wetlands and Near-shore Marine Ecosystems : Challenges and Opportunities
The technical report, prepared by Stephen Crooks, Dorothee Herr, Jerker Tamelander, Dan Laffoley and Justin Vandever, consolidates information from the literature and provides analysis on the climate change mitigation potential of seagrasses and coastal wetlands, including coastal peats, tidal freshwater wetlands, salt marshes and mangroves (see Annex 2). The numbers in this full technical report have been adjusted since the synthesis note, produced while the study was in progress, was released in Cancun. The calculations of emissions are ballpark, but reasonable, and represent an order of mag ...

Published by: World Bank ; 2011The technical report, prepared by Stephen Crooks, Dorothee Herr, Jerker Tamelander, Dan Laffoley and Justin Vandever, consolidates information from the literature and provides analysis on the climate change mitigation potential of seagrasses and coastal wetlands, including coastal peats, tidal freshwater wetlands, salt marshes and mangroves (see Annex 2). The numbers in this full technical report have been adjusted since the synthesis note, produced while the study was in progress, was released in Cancun. The calculations of emissions are ballpark, but reasonable, and represent an order of magnitude range. They are meant to stimulate additional and focused research, while raising awareness among the science, management and policy communities of the dangers of ignoring these unaccounted for GHG sources and sinks.
