The use of drones to gather remote data and soil sensors to collect ground information has become a powerful method for agricultural monitoring and analysis. However, integrating data from drone remote sensing and soil sensors in agricultural contexts can be problematic due to variations in spatial and temporal resolutions. Ensuring precise synchronization and calibration is crucial for accurate comparative analysis. The objective of this study was to investigate the strengths and limitations of both approaches and explore the potential for data fusion. Through a series of field trials, data from drone-based remote sensing and ground-based soil sensing were collected in parallel. This data encompassed a range of factors, including vegetation health (vegetation indices), soil properties such as EC, pH, and optical measurements. The study delves into the challenges of data synchronization, calibration, and validation between the two methodologies. We discuss the potential for synergy in building a more holistic understanding of agriculture by fusing data from drones and in situ soil sensors. The findings of this research have implications for environmental monitoring, agriculture, and ecosystem management, suggesting that the combination of aerial and ground sensing offers a multi-dimensional perspective that can enhance decision-making processes and our grasp of intricate environmental processes.

Our goal in this work is to examine the daily and monthly temporal fluctuations of the MLH under various cloud situations. In order to accomplish this goal, we examined data gathered from the Campbell ceilometer CS135 during the initial five months of operation. On Greece's Euboia Island, this equipment is placed in a rural location, and the study yields early findings about the atmospheric profile of this area.
