环境指标越来越多地用于政策和管理方面，但许多与环境决策有关的参数存在严重的数据不足。卫星遥感具有全球天气覆盖范围和广泛的可用仪器，有可能填补其中一些空白，但它们对指标制定的潜在贡献在很大程度上尚未得到检验。在本文中，我们介绍了在三个主要问题领域开发卫星衍生指标的试点工作的结果：环境空气污染、沿海富营养化和生物质燃烧。一个主要的重点是由一个由遥感科学家和决策者组成的咨询小组审查指标。
Environmental indicators are increasingly being used in policy and management contexts, yet serious data deficiencies exist for many parameters of interest to environmental decision making. With its global synoptic coverage and the wide range of instruments available, satellite remote sensing has the potential to fill a number of these gaps, yet their potential contribution to indicator development has largely remained untested. In this paper we present results of a pilot effort to develop satellite-derived indicators in three major issue areas: ambient air pollution, coastal eutrophication, and biomass burning. A primary focus is on the vetting of indicators by an advisory group composed of remote sensing scientists and policy makers.
