Abstract

Significant advancements in Earth observation are expected to come about by developing more systematic capabilities for assimilating remote sensing observations and in situ measurements for use in models, at relevant scales, to generate geophysical and biospheric information products. This paper provides an overview of the role of in situ sensing in the context of integrated Earth sensing. It also defines a framework for taking advantage of intelligent sensorwebs based on the converging technologies of microsensors, computers, and wireless telecommunications in support of critical activities such as the monitoring of remote environments, risk assessment and hazard mapping, and renewable resource information management. The knowledge gleaned from integrated Earth sensing has the potential to empower managers and decision makers to act on critical climate, sustainable development, natural resource, and environmental issues.
