TL;DR: The Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) is a C-band active microwave remote sensing instrument flown on board of the Meteorological Operational (METOP) satellite series as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The AgriClim software package as mentioned in this paper provides users with a wide range of parameters essential for the evaluation of climate-related stress factors in agricultural crop production, and it has been tested over an area of 114,000 km2 in Central Europe and found that by 2020, the combination of increased air temperature and changes in the amount and distribution of precipitation will lead to a prolonged growing season and significant shifts in the agroclimatic zones of Central Europe; in particular, the areas that are currently most productive will be reduced and replaced by warmer but drier conditions in the

TL;DR: The ADAGIO project as discussed by the authors evaluated regional adaptation options in agriculture in most vulnerable European regions (mediterranean, central and eastern European regions) using scientific studies, involving regional experts and farmers in the evaluation of potential regional vulnerabilities.

TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to make reference to this guideline that is by now accessible for those interested in using the dataset as well as for those creating datasets planning to provide guidance to their data users.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate terrain effects on short-wave radiation measurements at Kanzelhohe Observatory (KSO), a mountainous radiation monitoring site in the Austrian Southern Alps, using three-dimensional (3-D) radiative transfer (RT) modeling and observations.
