Remote sensing of vineyard FPAR, with implications for irrigation scheduling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data, acquired at two-meter resolution by an airborne ADAR System 5500, were compared with fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR) absorbed by commercial vineyards in Napa Valley, California. An empirical line correction was used to transform image digital counts to surface reflectance. “Apparent” NDVI (generated from digital counts) and “corrected” NDVI (from reflectance) were both strongly related to FPAR of range 0.140.50 (both r = 0.97, P < 0.01). By suppressing noise, corrected NDVI should form a more spatially and temporally stable relationship with FPAR, reducing the need for repeated field support. Study results suggest the possibility of using optical remote sensing to monitor the transpiration crop coefficient, thus providing an enhanced spatial resolution component to crop water budget calculations and irrigation management.

Validation of MODIS and GEOV1 fPAR Products in a Boreal Forest Site in Finland
Remote sensing of the fraction of absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fPAR) has become a timely option to monitor forest productivity. However, only a few studies have had ground reference fPAR datasets containing both forest canopy and understory fPAR from boreal forests for the validation of satellite products. The aim of this paper was to assess the performance of two currently ava...
