Of the many ways Earth observations can be measured, collected, and archived, the vantage from space using satellite remote sensing offers the most synoptic, regular option at scale with seamless global spatial coverage and temporal continuity. In the field of Earth science, satellite remote sensing has contributed to numerous disciplines with the launch and continuation of Earth-observing satellites dedicated to routinely monitoring the pulse of our planet. For example, improvement in our ability to model and analyze physical processes can now be clearly attributed to satellite remote sensing applications in hydrologic science (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
