Mtci: the Meris Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index
The long wavelength edge of the major chlorophyll absorption feature in the spectrum of a vegetation canopy moves to longer wavelengths with an increase in chlorophyll content. The position of this red-edge has been used successfully to estimate, by remote sensing, the chlorophyll content of vegetation canopies. Techniques used to estimate this red-edge position (REP) have been designed for use...
متن کاملValidation Procedure for the Meris Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (mtci)
The MERIS Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI) is designed to monitor vegetation condition via an estimation of chlorophyll content. Its simplicity of calculation, suitability for automation and most importantly, sensitivity to all and notably, high values of chlorophyll content made it a suitable level-2 ESA product. This index effectively combines information on leaf area index and the chloro...
متن کاملThe Relationship between the Meris Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index and Chlorophyll Content
The MERIS Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI), a standard level 2 ESA product, provides information on the chlorophyll content of vegetation (amount of chlorophyll per unit area of ground). This is a combination of information on leaf area index (LAI, area of leaves per unit area of ground) and the chlorophyll concentration of those leaves. The MTCI correlates strongly with chlorophyll content...
متن کاملThe potential of the MERIS Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index for carbon flux estimation
In this study we evaluated the potential of the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI) for monitoring gross primary productivity (GPP) across fifteen eddy covariance towers encompassing a wide variation in North American vegetation composition. The acrosssite relationship between MTCI and tower GPP was stronger than that between either the MODIS GPP ...
متن کاملMethodologies and Uncertainties in the Use of the Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index for the Sentinel-3 Mission
A methodology is described for the validation of Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI) data over heterogeneous land surfaces in an agricultural region in Southern Italy. The approach involves the use inverse canopy reflectance modeling techniques to derive maps of canopy chlorophyll content (CCC) and leaf area index (LAI) at fine spatial resolution....
