Adapted/improved process-based models assimilating EO/ in situ data

Abstract

This report details the proof of concept for enhancing modelling applications within Protected Areas (PAs) with in-situ and remotely sensed data products. It showcases the manner through which the various partners involved in the ECOPOTENTIAL project were able to incorporate remote sensed and in-situ data, within a modelling framework to enhance the outputs of their models, or in some cases, the data enabled the models to be run on more than theoretical inputs. The activities detailed within represent an advancement and application of the methodologies proposed and reviewed within the project to specific case-study sites representing the PAs of ECOPOTENTIAL as well as Pan-European investigations
