This book presents the results of the studies on satellite data availability, methods and challenges for the assessment of climate change and variability impacts on agriculture, which were obtained by working group 2.1 in the COST Action 734. The main objective of the Action was the evaluation of possible impacts from climate change and variability on agriculture and the assessment of critical thresholds for various European areas. Secondary objectives were: the collection and review of existing agroclimatic indices and simulation models, to assess hazard impacts on various European agricultural areas relating hazards to climatic conditions; building climate scenarios for the next few decades; the definition of harmonised criteria to evaluate the impacts of climate change and variability on agriculture and the definition of warning systems guidelines. This book specifically focuses on the findings of working group 2.1 who addressed remote sensing including the evaluation and assessment of the use of satellite data for agro-climate research, and in particular their integration into high-quality, globally-integrated climate products.
