| Résumé : | At local to global scales, wetlands can be observed, characterized, mapped, and monitored using a diverse range of ground, airborne, and spaceborne sensors operating in different modes and across different spatial and temporal scales. Sensors that are generally more familiar to those involved with wetlands assessment operate in the spectral (reflected visible to shortwave infrared) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, with these allowing identification of open water, determination of water state and quality, discrimination of different aquatic environments and vegetation types, and tracking of vegetation phenology and water dynamics. Sensors operating in the thermal regions provide information on the temperature variations of wetlands and particularly the water surface. Microwave sensors (on the order of cm wavelength) typically facilitate the mapping of open water and inundation and also provide information on the three-dimensional structure of wetland vegetation. |
