The FORMOSAT-2 satellite is the first and only satellite with the ability to provide daily high-resolution images over a particular area with constant viewing angles. As part of the SudMed project, one of the first time series of FORMOSAT-2 images has been acquired over the semi-arid Tensift-Marrakech plain. Along with these acquisitions, an experimental data set has been collected to monitor land-cover/land-use, soil characteristics, vegetation dynamics and surface fluxes. This paper presents a first analysis of the potential of these data for agrometerological study of semi-arid areas. specialized 126 072 29 17-18 5291-5300 2008 0143-1161 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00002731 10.1080/01431160802036482 0143-1161 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00002731 IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2008-11-07 2017-08-23 PAR00002731 fre
