Earth reflectivity from Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) Earth Polychromatic Camera (EPIC)
(2017-12-13)Earth reflectivity, which is also specified as Earth albedo or Earth reflectance, is defined as the fraction of incident solar radiation reflected back to space at the top of the atmosphere. It is a key climate parameter ... -
The Spectral Invariant Approximation within Canopy Radiative Transfer to Support the Use of the EPIC/DSCOVR Oxygen B-band for Monitoring Vegetation
(2017-12-13)EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) is a 10-channel spectroradiometer onboard DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory) spacecraft. In addition to the NIR (780 nm) and the ‘red’ (680 nm) channels, EPIC also has the O2 ... -
3D radiative transfer equation as the theoretical basis for vegetation remote sensing

Amazon forests' response to droughts: a perspective from the MAIAC product
(MDPI AG, 2016-04-01)Amazon forests experienced two severe droughts at the beginning of the 21st century: one in 2005 and the other in 2010. How Amazon forests responded to these droughts is critical for the future of the Earth’s climate system. ... -
Evaluation of MODIS LAI/FPAR product Collection 6. Part 2: Validation and intercomparison
(MDPI AG, 2016-06-01)The aim of this paper is to assess the latest version of the MODIS LAI/FPAR product (MOD15A2H), namely Collection 6 (C6). We comprehensively evaluate this product through three approaches: validation with field measurements, ... -
Abiotic controls on macroscale variations of humid tropical forest height
(MDPI AG, 2016-06-01)Spatial variation of tropical forest tree height is a key indicator of ecological processes associated with forest growth and carbon dynamics. Here we examine the macroscale variations of tree height of humid tropical ... -
Evaluation of MODIS LAI/FPAR product Collection 6. Part 1: consistency and improvements
(MDPI AG, 2016-05-01)As the latest version of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) products, Collection 6 (C6) has been distributed since August ...
