SATELLITE TECHNOLOGIES FOR SMALL-SCALE LAND MONITORING

Usage of satellite data with a spatial resolution of 1 km and 250 meters does not allow anymore increasing the accuracy of crop monitoring results. Improved accuracy could occur only if there is a minimum 10-year archive of satellite data with a spatial resolution of 10-30 meters. Satellite monitoring of soils can be conducted at given moment only on local level. The main limitation for further development of the methods is lack of data on soil and crop spectral reflectance properties.
