The first objective is to develop irrigation estimates (the main component of anthropogenic water use) using innovative 10-km and 1-km soil moisture products; the second involves validating these estimates by comparing them with in-situ data and model outputs. Finally, the third objective involves using satellite-derived irrigation estimates in climate studies to demonstrate their added value. /pulliItaly /li /ulh3Eligibility of fellows: country/ies of residence: /h3ulliOTHER /li /ulh3Eligibility of fellows: nationality/ies: /h3 /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
