Artmo’s Global Sensitivity Analysis (gsa) Toolbox to Quantify Driving Variables of Leaf and Canopy Radiative Transfer Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This contribution introduces ARTMO’s new global sensitivity analysis (GSA) toolbox. With the GSA toolbox the majority of ARTMO’s available radiative transfer models (RTMs) can be used for global sensitivity analysis with little user interaction. For a selected RTM output, the global sensitivity analysis identifies most influential and non-influential input variables according to Sobol’ first-order and total-order indices. The toolbox can process RTM spectral outputs for any kind of optical sensor setting within the spectral range of 400-2400 nm. Multiple model outputs can be automatically analysed within the same execution, which is of interest for more advanced, multi-output RTMs such as SCOPE. To illustrate its functioning, total-order sensitivity indices results for spectral outputs of PROSPECT-4/5 (leaf) and PROSPECT+SAIL (canopy) RTMs were calculated. Wavelength-dependent key driving and non-influential input variables were identified. The toolbox can be beneficial to the broader remote sensing community to gain insight into vegetation-light interactions and RTM input-output functioning.

Emulation of Leaf, Canopy and Atmosphere Radiative Transfer Models for Fast Global Sensitivity Analysis
Physically-based radiative transfer models (RTMs) help understand the interactions of radiation with vegetation and atmosphere. However, advanced RTMs can be computationally burdensome, which makes them impractical in many real applications, especially when many state conditions and model couplings need to be studied. To overcome this problem, it is proposed to substitute RTMs through surrogate...

However, advanced RTMs can take a...
متن کاملEstimating canopy water content from spectroscopy
Canopy water content is a dynamic quantity that depends on the balance between water losses from transpiration and water uptake from the soil. Absorption of shortwave radiation by water is determined by various frequencies that match overtones of fundamental bending and stretching molecular transitions. Leaf water potential and relative water content are important variables for determining wate...

Radiative-transfer physically-based studies have previously demonstrated the relationship between leaf water content and leaf-level reflectance in the near-infrared spectral region. The successful scaling up of such methods to the canopy level requires modeling the effect of canopy structure and viewing geometry on reflectance bands and optical indices used for estimation of water content, such...
متن کاملBayesian Inference for Sensitivity Analysis of Computer Simulators, With an Application to Radiative Transfer Models
Computer simulators are used in science and technology to model physical processes or the behavior of real-world systems. Sensitivity analysis provides a useful tool for quantifying the impact of uncertainty in the computer simulator inputs on the computed output. We focus on global sensitivity analysis, which quantifies output uncertainty as all the inputs vary continuously over the input spac...
