satellite monitoring

Purpose. The study focuses on a comparative assessment of the capabilities of open satellite data from the Sentinel missions and high-resolution commercial systems Planet, SkySat, and WorldView in addressing key tasks of precision agriculture. The main objective is to determine the differences in spatial, spectral, radiometric, and temporal informativeness between these types of satellite data, as well as to evaluate the economic feasibility of their use in agricultural production.

Over the past 25 years, the western regions of Ukraine have been affected by floods and mudflows caused by a complex of factors, the main of which are climate change, rapid snowmelt and intense precipitation, urbanization and deforestation. These hydrological phenomena caused significant material damage and a threat to human life. To prevent them, the construction of hydraulic structures, strengthening of river banks and afforestation, the creation of early warning systems and improvement of the monitoring system were carried out.
