Workshop Report: Remote Sensing and Fluxes Upscaling for Real-world Impact

Summary

A workshop titled "Remote Sensing and Fluxes Upscaling for Real-world Impact" was held on July 9-10, 2024, at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, bringing together over 200 registrants and about 100 daily attendees. The event aimed to bridge the gap between environmental research and practical applications by integrating remote sensing and flux data. Key challenges included instrument costs, spatial heterogeneity, and data consistency for carbon, energy, and water management. The primary outcome was the development of a workflow for scaling flux data using "straight shot" and "explicit nesting" approaches, with the latter potentially explaining variability at the pixel level by a factor of two more. These insights are intended to guide future research and technology transfer for societal benefits.
