The upcoming Copernicus Expansion Missions present unprecedented opportunities to advance current Earth Observation (EO), particularly for agricultural applications. The AgriCEM project leverages this potential by focusing on the hyperspectral CHIME and the thermal LSTM missions. The main objectives are:
- Generate a representative dataset that reflects the unique capabilities of CHIME and LSTM in terms of spatial resolution, spectral coverage, and revisit time;
- Develop synergistic EO products for advanced sugar beet monitoring .
Synthetic CHIME and LSTM data are generated using a complex, physically based end-to-end simulation workflow. Retrieval algorithms for LST and ET, vegetation traits, and vegetation stress indicators are developed based on the simulated dataset, proxy satellite, and in-situ data. The consortium works closely with stakeholders like the champion user KWS SAAT to achieve user-oriented EO products.
