Remote sensing of vegetation includes investigating physical bases of remote sensing, satellite measurements and of course below atmosphere research from airborne devices and on land field and laboratory measurements.
Theoretical models of vegetation reflectance are developed to give below atmosphere support for satellite measurements.

The purpose of Water Framework Directive of European Union is to create uniform evaluation system for inland waters and increase the quality of the water bodies.
To achieve that goal, Tartu Observatory is collecting regular field data from Estonian lakes and coastal areas, in co-operation with foreign partners also from beyond, in order to create algorithms that can be used to derive necessary information from data collected with satellites, airborne machines and marine vessels.

We have prepared solar radiation datasets for all potential users. We have regular recording of UV-radiation, sunphotometer measures several atmosphere parameters.
Atmosphere humidity content is measured using GPS-method. Using atmospheric reanalyses, climate variability roots and connections are studied.
