The potential of UAV multispectral imagery to estimate chlorophyll content of vine leaves
(Corresponding) Tepanosyan G., Muradyan V., Hovsepyan A., Ayvazyan G., Avetisyan R., Asmaryan S.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
As is known, chlorophyll is an important biophysical parameter used to monitor the overall physiological status of plants. The aim of this research was to study the potential of UAV multispectral images for estimating the contents of leaf chlorophyll in vineyards. For this purpose, a UAV flight was...Read more
Exploitation of Crowdsourcing Tools and Earth Observation data: A Systematic Literature Review
(Corresponding) Tsiakou D., Tsimiklis G., Tsiakos V., Karagiannopoulou K., Amditis A.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Crowdsourcing is a method gaining ever wider use in practice and leverages human intelligence to solve problems in a considerable number of study fields. Howe (Howe 2006) coined the concept defining: “Crowdsourcing represents the act of a company or institution taking a function once performed by...Read more
Intercomparison of satellite and ground-based precipitation in the area of Cyprus
(Corresponding) Loulli E., Bühl J., Michaelides S., Loukas A., Hadjimitsis D.
Topic:
Process understanding through innovative sensors and remote sensing
Cyprus has an excellent location for studying meteorology, climatology of atmospheric aerosols and aerosol-cloud-precipitation interaction. Aerosol-cloud-precipitation dynamics in the region of Cyprus are responsible for the country’s precipitation budget. This study uses observations from the NASA...Read more
Development of an urban resilience indicator for Athens in the context of climate change
(Corresponding) Polydoros A., Mavrakou T., Cartalis C.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Urbanization interacts with climate change through the way cities are organized and built (land cover/ land use, urban morphology). Increased energy consumption and consequently CO2 emissions, combined with emissions from city functions (urban metabolism, anthropogenic heat sources) intensify urban...Read more
‘Water Underground’: Real-time, continuous monitoring of the underground water’s quantity and quality
Mavroforakis M., (Corresponding) Georgiou H., Malisiovas V., Psychias C., Papadimitriou D., Sarioglou K.
Topic:
Process understanding through innovative sensors and remote sensing
Water resource management is one the most urgent aspects of environmental protection and sustainability policies world-wide. Accurate, real-time remote sensing of the status of underground reservoirs is required for proper regional planning, prevention of droughts, optimized farming etc. ‘Water...Read more

A data-driven approach to predict phytoplankton blooms using satellite-derived water quality and hydrometeorological drivers
(Corresponding) Kandris K., Romas E., Tzimas A., Bresciani M., Giardino C., Bauer P., Pechlivanidis I., Dessena M.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The present work leverages simulated hydrometeorological factors and satellite-derived chlorophyll-a to predict phytoplankton dynamics for Mulargia reservoir (Sardinia, Italy). A Random Forest (RF) model was (a) calibrated to minimize out-of-bag errors of chlorophyll-a predictions for a 5-year-long...Read more
Relationship of satellite-derived atmospheric CH4 concentrations with agriculture sector CH4 emissions in Turkey
Ceylan E., (Corresponding) Kaynak B.
Topic:
Air pollution
In this study, bottom-up annual CH4 emissions from agriculture (rice cultivation, enteric fermentation and manure) were calculated with the IPCC Tier 1 approach on county-level, and province totals were obtained for the first time in Turkey. Konya, which produces the highest annual CH4 emissions (...Read more
Methane distribution over Greece as derived from Sentinel-5P TROPOMI data
EVANGELOU I., GIALESAKIS N., DASKALAKIS N., (Corresponding) KANAKIDOU M.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
Global warming, induced mainly by greenhouse gases emitted by human activities, is an environmental issue of crucial importance for society. Greenhouse gases, such as methane (CH4), need to be monitored and their anthropogenic emissions quantified in order to be reduced. We here present, the first...Read more
CO2 and NO2 distributions over Greece as seen by OCO-2 and TROPOMI
Gialesakis N., Daskalakis N., (Corresponding) Kanakidou M.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
Greenhouse gases are the driving force behind human-induced global warming. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the greenhouse gas (GHG) with the longer lifetime in the atmosphere, in the order of hundreds of years, and the largest contribution to the radiative forcing of the atmosphere due to its increasing...Read more
Influence of fires on atmospheric composition over Greece as seen by TROPOMI S5P
Kalogeraki E., Sfakianaki M., Gialesakis N., Chatziparaschos M., Daskalakis N., (Corresponding) Kanakidou M.
Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
The present study uses data from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on board Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite to investigate the impact of the forest fires plumes on atmospheric aerosols and gases. For this purpose, the Aerosol Index, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon...Read more
