Abstract

Project to be developed with the cultivation of sugarcane in the region of Guariba (SP), aimed at carrying out field work with the aim of modeling canopy temperature, hydric balance and production of biomass with the use of satellite images from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) series. We will undertake complementary studies to determine surface emissivity and atmospheric correction. (AU)
