Abstract
In recent years, the remote sensing based on meteorological satellite observations has become an important tool for assessing global ecological conditions. Since the early 2000, Fengyun (FY) satellite data have been widely used to derive the key parameters of ecological environment in China. An integrated earth-observation system has been developed in China through using FY satellite data, including retrievals the key ecological parameters as well as to constructions of long-term data records of vegetation index, land surface temperature, net primary production, vegetation health index, and so on. Considerable progress has thus been made in the application and service for prevention of air pollution, management and control of ecological redline, ecological monitoring for the Belt and Road Initiative, and assessment of ecological environment for human settlement. In order to monitor the ecological parameters in real time and with a full dynamic coverage, it is necessary to improve the technology in application of ecological remote sensing from meteorological satellites, and further enhance the ecological meteorological service.
