(Navigation) a system of earth-orbiting satellites, transmitting signals continuously towards the earth, that enables the position of a receiving device on or near the earth's surface to be accurately estimated from the difference in arrival times of the signals. Abbreviation:GPS ...

MapTiler Satellite thus optimizes the Earth natural colors rendering as seen by the human eye. The resulting color-toned 10m per pixel imagery is finally generated according to a global WGS84 regular grid and a web mercator tiling scheme, and produced as both GeoTIFF and ready-to-use ma...
The model has been trained with Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR)-derived subsidence data for 47 regions (blue dots) and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based coastal subsidence dataset to generate the a Global map of subsidence. 1–5 cm/year and >5 cm/year are...
easy retrieval of satellite imagery spanning the user-defined region of interest and time period from Google Earth Engine, including state-of-the-art pre-processing steps (re-projecting the different bands, pansharpening, advanced cloud masking). ...
Quantification of global forest change has been lacking despite the recognized importance of forest ecosystem services. In this study, Earth observation satellite data were used to map global forest loss (2.3 million square kilometers) and gain (0.8 million square kilometers) from 2000 to 2012 at...
However, comparison against Earth system model (ESM) NPP estimates reveals a significant divergence, with satellite-derived increases (2.8 ± 1.50%) less than half of ESM-derived increases (7.6 ± 1.67%) over the 30-year period. By isolating the CO2 fertilization effect in each NPP time ...

satellite imagery. As such, our approach may underestimate the contribution of herbaceous C stocks in densely forested grid cells. The most likely herbaceous cover type was determined from the CCI Landcover 2010 map, which we aggregated into two “likely herbaceous cover” classes – grass or ...
The interferometric monitor for greenhouse gases (IMG), was the precursor for the high resolution FTIR boarded on the satellite for Earth observation. The IMG sensor was able to obtain only 8 months of radiation spectra, however, the retrieved greenhouse gases global maps have certified that the...
