Abstract
Satellite observation provides information of a large area with spatial resolution from under a meter up to 50 km and temporal resolution from 5 min up to a few days. Satellites measure radiances over various parts of the spectra of electromagnetic radiation. The data is subsequently processed to derive geophysical parameters for the observed area and delivered in this more informative form as satellite observation products. High resolution products are more suitable for irrigation [1], especially in cases where the land parcels are small. The satellite data of interest for the precision irrigation is mostly data relevant to the water cycle, hydrology and meteorology and provided by missions aimed at gathering such data.
