Initiated in 1984, the Committee Earth Observing Satellites' Working Group on Calibration and Validation (CEOS WGCV) pursues activities to coordinate, standardize advance calibration validation of civilian satellites their data. One subgroup CEOS WGCV, Land Product (LPV), was established 2000 define standard guidelines protocols foster data information exchange relevant land products. Since then, a number leaf area index (LAI) products have become available science community at both global...
This paper describes a synergetic use of satellite radar images and ancillary information to detect flooded areas at their peak evaluates its potential with mapping. The procedure was tested on the catastrophic flood that occurred in Regione Piemonte Italy November 1994. Two ERS-1 synthetic aperture (SAR) were processed, one acquired month before other three days after event. Visual interpretation two different thresholding techniques performed. map derived shows only small fraction (20%)...
Abstract Variations in photosynthesis still cause substantial uncertainties predicting photosynthetic CO 2 uptake rates and monitoring plant stress. Changes actual that are not related to greenness of vegetation difficult measure by reflectance based optical remote sensing techniques. Several activities underway evaluate the sun‐induced fluorescence signal on ground a coarse spatial scale using space‐borne imaging spectrometers. Intermediate‐scale observations airborne‐based spectroscopy,...
The RAdiative transfer Model Intercomparison (RAMI) activity focuses on the benchmarking of canopy radiative (RT) models. For current fourth phase RAMI, six highly realistic virtual plant environments were constructed basis intensive field data collected from (both deciduous and coniferous) forest stands as well test sites in Europe South Africa. Twelve RT modelling groups provided simulations scale (directional hemispherically integrated) quantities, a series binary hemispherical...
Abstract Remote estimation of Sun‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence emitted by terrestrial vegetation can provide an unparalleled opportunity to track spatiotemporal variations photosynthetic efficiency. Here we the first direct experimental evidence that two peaks spectrum be accurately mapped from high‐resolution radiance spectra and signal is linked in actual Red far red measured using a novel airborne imaging spectrometer over grass carpet treated with herbicide known inhibit...
In this study we examined ecosystem respiration (RECO) data from 104 sites belonging to FLUXNET, the global network of eddy covariance flux measurements. The goal was identify main factors involved in variability RECO: temporally and between as affected by climate, vegetation structure plant functional type (PFT) (evergreen needleleaf, grasslands, etc.). We demonstrated that a model using only climate drivers predictors RECO failed describe part temporal dependency on gross primary...
Abstract In this paper, we evaluate the impact of mineral dust (MD) on snow radiative properties in European Alps at ground, aerial, and satellite scale. A field survey was conducted to acquire spectral reflectance measurements with an Analytical Spectral Device (ASD) Field Spec Pro spectroradiometer. Surface samples were analyzed determine concentration size distribution MD each sample. An overflight a four‐rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped RGB digital camera sensor carried out...
This paper presents a method for mapping the nitrogen (N) status in maize field using hyperspectral remote sensing imagery. An airborne survey was conducted with an AISA Eagle sensor over experimental farm where (Zea mays L.) grown two N fertilization levels (0 and 100 kg ha−1) four replicates. Leaf canopy data were collected during flight. The has been estimated this work based on Nitrogen Nutrition Index (NNI), defined as ratio between leaf actual concentration (%Na) of crop minimum...
Abstract. The CEFLES2 campaign during the Carbo Europe Regional Experiment Strategy was designed to provide simultaneous airborne measurements of solar induced fluorescence and CO2 fluxes. It combined with extensive ground-based quantification leaf- canopy-level processes in support ESA's Candidate Earth Explorer Mission "Fluorescence Explorer" (FLEX). aim this test if signal detected from an platform can be used improve estimates plant mediated exchange on mesoscale. Canopy quantified four...
