IIAMES, J. S. ASSESSING THE ACCURACY OF THE MODIS LAI 1-KM PRODUCT IN SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES LOBLOLLY PINE PLANTATIONS: ACCOUNTING FOR MEASUREMENT VARIANCE FROM GROUND TO SATELLITE. Presented at North Carolina Forest Nutrition Cooperative, Raleigh, NC, April 13, 2006.
Impact/Purpose:
Our research objectives are to: (a) develop new methods using satellite remote sensor data for the rapid characterization of LC condition and change at regional to national scales; (b) evaluate the utility of the new NASA-EOS MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) leaf area index (LAI) measurements for regional scale application with landscape process models (e.g., biogenic emissions and atmospheric deposition); (c) provide remote sensor derived measurement data to advance the development of the next generation of distributed landscape process-based models to provide a predictive modeling capability for important ecosystem processes (e.g., nutrients, sedimentation, pathogens, etc.); and (d) integrate in situ monitoring measurement networks with UAV and satellite based remote sensor data to provide a continuous environmental monitoring capability.
