Abstract
Methods have been developed to assess water and heat regime characteristics of a vast agricultural region for vegetation season based on the model of land-surface-atmosphere interaction. The model is adjusted to assimilate estimates of the land-surface and meteorological characteristics derived from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (AVHRR/NOAA), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer/Earth Observing System Terra & Aqua (MODIS/EOS Terra and Aqua), and Scanning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager/Meteosat-9 (SEVIRI/Meteosat-9) data. The case study has been carried out for the agricultural Central Black Earth region of European Russia of 227,300 km(2) for the 2009-2012 vegetation seasons. The methods of satellite data processing have been developed or refined, which provide the retrieval of vegetation characteristics, land-surface temperature, and precipitation. The techniques for the assimilation of satellite-based products in the model have been developed. Some major water regime characteristics have been generated such as soil water content, evapotranspiration, and others.
