Satellite remote sensing, which can continually observe various surface processes on a global scale, has explicitly facilitated such studies [1-3]. While remote sensing plays an increasingly important role in large-scale environmental monitoring, it has also been criticized for its inherently limited spatial resolution [4-6]. This limitation weakens the reliability of studies based on satellite data due to uncertainty generated from spatial heterogeneity.
