Temperature is the critical signal that allows monitoring of a myriad of earth's processes

From direct measurements of wildfire and urban heat to more complex relationships with drought, agriculture, aquaculture, and biodiversity, maintaining a steady pulse on earth's surface temperature enables US to mitigate for and adapt to the impacts of extreme events and increasingly variable water availability under a changing climate. All these earth processes are highly dynamic in space and time; the underlying problem is that they require high spatial and high temporal resolution measurements of temperature. Hydrosat is innovating through this space-time barrier to provide 20 m surface temperature data every day, globally. We propose in this 6-months phase i investigation to conduct a sensitivity analysis and impact assessment framework to determine how much high spatiotemporal resolution surface temperature can improve applications across: i) wildfire; II) drought; III) urban heat; IV) agri
