Rapid satellite data streams in operational applications
have clear benefits for monitoring land cover,
especially when information can be delivered as fast as changing
surface conditions. Over the past decade,
remote sensing has become a key tool for monitoring and predicting
environmental variables by using satellite data.
This package presents the main applications in remote sensing for
land surface monitoring and land cover mapping (soil, vegetation, water...).
