Hosted by the State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, the 2013 annual workshop on “Heihe Watershed Allied Telemetry Experimental Research (HiWATER)” was held in Beijing from January 8 to January 10, 2014. Some 130 researchers from over 10 universities and research institutions attended the workshop.
The 2013 annual workshop focused on the advance of the HIWATER. On the workshop, Prof. LI Xin, LIU Shaoming, XIAO Qin, MA Guoming, and LIU Qinhuo gave their presentations titled “From WATER to HIWATER”, “Advance of Hydrological and Meteorological Parameters and Multi-scale Evapotranspiration Observations over Heihe River Basin”, “Data process progress of HIWATER Airborne Optical Remote Sensing”, “Progress of Calibration and validation with Data Analysis Case”, and “Progress of Remote Sensing Products of Critical Parameters of Ecological Processes over Heihe River Basin”, respectively.
Other 58 presentations includes the following 5 topics, 1) airborne remote sensing data processing and algorithm, 2) hydro-meteorological, surface flux observation and analysis, 3) the scale effect and validation; 4) satellite remote sensing model and retrieval algorithm; 5) eco-hydrological process models.
Heihe Watershed Allied Telemetry Experimental Research (HiWATER) performs airborne, satellite-borne and ground-based remote sensing experiments at various scales by coordinating interdisciplinary researchers from different institutions and projects during 2012-2015.
