Handbook of Satellite Land Products compiles the key information of as many satellite products as possible for each essential land variable. It provides a comprehensive list of openly accessible high-level satellite products that characterize the essential land surface variables of the Earth system, including the original data sources, inversion algorithms, product characteristics, validation accuracy, and any existing applications. Each product includes satellite data inversion methodology and high-level product generation and application information, allowing for comparison of different products and selection of the correct ones for different applications. This book will help researchers, professors, and graduate students grasp the knowledge of existing satellite land products, understand the advantages and limitations, and follow the practical application examples.

Herausgeber

Dr. Liang received his Ph.D. from Boston University in 1993. He is a Chair Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Hong Kong. He has published over 490 SCI journal papers, 43 book chapters, and ten special issues of various journals. He has authored/edited eight books, five of which have been translated into Chinese. Dr. Liang is a Fellow of the IEEE and AAAS, and a Global STEM Professor. He serves as an Editor-in-Chief of the Science of Remote Sensing journal. Dr. Liang led the development of the Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) products, freely available at awww.glass.hku.hk and www.geodata.cn. He is also leading to develop the high-resolution (30 m) version of GLASS (Hi-GLASS) products. His Google Scholar H-index is 107, with over 46,000 citations. Clarivate recognizes him as a Highly Cited Researcher, placing him among the top 0.1% of scientists globally.

Han Ma is Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Geography, the University of Hong Kong. She was a research assistant at the University of Maryland, USA in 2017, and a postdoctorial fellow at Wuhan University, China from 2018-2022. Her main research interests include radiative transfer modeling and inversion of land surface/atmospheric variables, and high-level global satellite product generation/analysis. She developed two global satellite products (leaf area index and fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation) at 250m spatial resolution from 2000-2021, which are the global LAI and FAPAR time-series products with the highest spatial resolution in the world.
