Summary / Zusammenfassung Vegetation
A) Estimation of ecologically relevant forest canopy variables
Retrieval of biochemical properties of forest canopies by imaging spectroscopy in an increased accuracy and resolution. The ultimate goal is the assimilation of spatial information into a terrestrial ecosystem model to retrieve a validated model at local scale, which can be implemented at progressively larger scales.
B) Analysis of spectro-directional vegetation canopy data
The activities mainly consist of the combination of spectral and directional remote sensing data acquisition and analysis for the estimation of the vegetation characteristics using radiative transfer models. Previous work concentrated on a local level, whereas the last part include analysis of regional data acquired with the satellite MISR (Multi-angular Imaging SpectroRadiometer), which are used for the generation of the leaf area index product by the MISR science team.One goal of the current project is to improve vegetation products and determine their uncertainties.

Goniometry
Systematical study of the relationship between field and laboratory measurements, especially the feasibility of replacing spectro-directional field measurements by laboratory data. Improvement of the accuracy of the results and establishment of a basis and methods for reliable reference data acquisition of spectro-directional reflectance values as well as for their management.
