Applications of SMAP and Evapotranspiration Data: Webinar Series

If you are interested in Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) data, we would like to bring your attention to an upcoming webinar series offered by the NASA Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) Program that is focused on applications of SMAP and evapotranspiration data. This webinar series will help attendees learn about NASA soil moisture and evapotranspiration products and how to access and apply them for water resource management. Over the course of five weeks, attendees will learn how to monitor and manage water resources with techniques learned in training. The series will begin with an introduction to satellite missions and useful data sets. Next, trainers will demonstrate online portals for accessing data. The series will conclude with specific examples of how you can apply the data and modeled data products. Webinar series details Applications of Remote Sensing to Soil Moisture and Evapotranspiration Dates: Thursdays, from September 1 to September 29. Times: 11:30-12:30 or 18:00-19:00, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Agenda: Week 1: Introduction to Soil Moisture, Evapotranspiration, and an Overview of the SMAP Satellite Mission Week 2: Applications of SMAP Data Week 3: Accessing SMAP Data Week 4: Landsat-based Evapotranspiration Estimates (METRIC) and Google Earth Engine Evapotranspiration Flux (EEFlux) Portal Week 5: MODIS-based Evapotranspiration (ALEXI) and Soil Moisture and Evapotranspiration data from GLDAS/NLDAS For more information, please see: https://appliedsciences.nasa.gov/what-we-do/capacity-building/arset.
