Satellite images applied to estimate soil water content:
Last week the other lecturer at the 5 days intensive course on Statistics for Hydrology and Telemetry , at CENPAT Port Madryn, Argentina, Dr. Mauro E. Holzman from IHLLA institute, taught us how to estimate the soil water content by means of the MODIS/Aqua satellite images. A QGIS processed vegetation index image is shown for part of Buenos Aires province: "Las Pampas". The surface temperature and reflectance bands allow to estimate the EVI index, and furthermore the soil moisture content and rates of evapotranspiration .
