143 Remote Sensing and Models in Agriculture

Oral Session
A03 Agroclimatology & Agronomic Modeling
Papers in this session will address remote sensing research using a variety of instrumentation. The use of simulation models (crop, soil, physical process) integrated with remotely sensed data and instruments will also be included.
