CO-Principal Investigator
Dr. Hari Shanker
Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, ISRO, Dehradun, Uttarakhand
Project Overview
The work plan includes utilization of Satellite and ground-based measurements for development and implementation of the algorithm at a local scale before moving on to apply the approach using the Earth observation datasets. SMAP, Sentinel 1 and 2 measurements will be used over varying vegetation conditions. All the validation data will also be collected over the study area during the project tenure.
Achievements
The project being undertaken by ISRO in collaboration with academia is directly or indirectly beneficial to the society.
