  • INRA
    The Bioclimatologie laboratory in Avignon is working in three main areas: remote sensing, agrometeorology and management of greenhouses. The agrometeorology group within the Bioclimatologie unit started its activity in 1976. It now comprises 10 permanent members (6 scientists, 4 engineers and technicians) and an average of 1 PhD students, 3 master students and 1 visiting scientist. The activity is mainly devoted to the development of crop and soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer (SVAT) models and their combination with remote sensing and meteorological data for agricultural and environmental studies. The group participates to other EC programs (ReSeDA, CIS1 and CIS2 Romania, CLAIRE CLIVARA). The contribution of the agrometeorology group in this project submitted to INCO-MED will be focused on the estimation of evapotranspiration at different scale from remote sensing data. The agrometeorology group, together with the remote sensing group, has a large experience in evapotranspiration modelling (SVAT models) and estimation from remote sensing (RS) data. It participates to the EC project ReSeDA (Environment and Climate) in which A.Olioso is co-ordinating the 'Assimilation of RS data in SVAT models' activity. It participated to many other projects aiming at estimating evapotranspiration or energy fluxes, either from AVHRR data, or from new and future sensors (e.g. from ESA mission ENVISAT, ASTER and MODIS on NASA-EOS platform). Other studies on SVAT modelling were performed in the frame of the French National Programs of Remote Sensing or of Hydrology. Upscalling evapotranspiration from the agricultural field level to the regional level is also under study, including the analysis of the signification of mixed pixel.

  • WATERMED Final Report
    As water consumption increases and water reserves fall dramatically, Mediterranean countries
    (European and non-European) have to re-evaluate their assets and future development in terms of
    their reserves. In this context the research on water use efficiency and water management focuses
    on water saving, particularly in agriculture recently becoming a European priority. The
    WATERMED project has this concern as the main objective; approaching the problem from a new
    point of view namely based on combined use of historical and current space-based remote sensing
    databases, vegetation models and field measurements.
