Abstract

The most advanced and applicable approach today in the development of environmental monitoring programs is the integration of remote sensing and Grid computing services into a monitoring and forecasting system that helps the analyst to understand the problem without being a remote sensing or computer expert. In this chapter we present the main features of Grid computing and how we can use it in conjunction with remote sensing to develop several applications that will estimate ET (Evapotranspiration), LST (Land Surface Temperature) and some vegetation indices (VI's) directly from a satellite image, these parameters playing an essential role in all activities related to water resources management.
