Description (French)
Le projet va étudier la validation, le développement et l'amélioration des techniques d'acquisition des données d'humidité des sols obtenues d'observations in situ et du satellite SMAP. Le projet s'intéressera aussi à l'application des techniques d'assimilation de données afin d'améliorer la modélisation de la distribution spatiale de l'énergie, de l'eau et des flux de carbone.
Expected Results
-Increased knowledge from research projects in priority space S&T areas (number of new and ongoing space science and technology initiatives and projects). -Number of completed space science and technology initiatives (Announcement of Opportunity) and proj
Expected Results (French)
-Des connaissances accrues grâce à des projets de recherche dans les domaines prioritaires en science et technologie spatiale (nombre de projets et initiatives décernées et en cours, nombre de personnes hautement qualifiées (PHQ) prenant part à des projet
