    “This paper summarizes new achievements in developing and distributing the Global Landsat Level-3 Evapotranspiration (ET) product. It is freely available through the USGS EROS Science Processing Architecture (ESPA) platform (2nd link above). 🛰️ …
    Since the product launch in June 2020, there have been over 1.2 million Landsat-based ET orders around the world. This indicates increasing awareness and application of the ET data to help understand and manage the relationships among food, energy, and water resources. 🌽💧 …
    It features the ESPA workflow and evaluation of the upgraded SSEBop model using a variety of observational datasets and hydrologic regions, and examination against OpenET SSEBop platform implementation (3rd link above.)…”

    “HIGHLIGHTS
    • ESPA platform allows access to on-demand, global, Landsat-based, ET products.
    • SSEBop model has been used to create ET data since 1982 through ESPA.
    • A quick estimation of field-scale crop consumptive water use can be achieved.
    • Numerous orders reflect worldwide extensive interest and utilization of the data.
    • Method, workflow, and performance of the actual ET data are presented in the study..."

  2. #ESA:
    "
    Europas Wälder verlieren seit 2018 deutlich mehr Biomasse
    "
    "Europas Wälder verlieren mehr Biomasse als bisher angenommen. Faktoren wie Dürre und Schädlingsbefall verursachen zunehmend große Verluste in einigen der ältesten Wälder Europas. Seit 2018 hat sich diese Situation deutlich verschlechtert."

    “With a trio of smaller satellites that can each detect 26 wavelengths of light, the Landsat Next mission is expected to look very different from its predecessors that have been observing Earth for 50 years. This new plan for Landsat Next, a joint mission of NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey, is designed to provide more frequent, and finer resolution, data of the changing surface of Earth…”

  4. Outstanding radar image of the #Shiveluch #volcano.
    #Radar data is not affected by cloud cover or rain. It can be acquired day or night, and often penetrates snow down to bedrock, unlike optical data (e.g. #Sentinel2, #landsat ).
    Acquired on April 17, it shows the immense collapse of the crater, and potentially a growing lava lobe.
    Kudos to @RaphaelGrandin and Alina Shevchenko for their work in the area and Capella Space for providing the image.
