Comparison of MODIS fPAR Products with Landsat-5 TM–Derived fPAR over Semiarid Rangelands of Idaho
نویسندگان
چکیده
While validation of the MODIS fPAR product is well behind that of the LAI product, it is recently receiving more attention. In this study, MODIS fPAR and Landsat-5 TM–derived fPAR (TM fPAR) were calculated and quantitatively compared using imagery from 2005 to 2008 for the semiarid rangelands of Idaho, USA. fPAR change maps were calculated between active growth and late-summer senescence periods. Accuracy of the MODIS fPAR and TM fPAR were determined indirectly by incorporating field-based measurements of above-ground forage biomass and percent ground cover from a variety of sites (n = 442).

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...
متن کاملEvaluation of MODIS LAI/FPAR Product Collection 6. Part 2: Validation and Intercomparison
The aim of this paper is to assess the latest version of the MODIS LAI/FPAR product (MOD15A2H), namely Collection 6 (C6). We comprehensively evaluate this product through three approaches: validation with field measurements, intercomparison with other LAI/FPAR products and comparison with climate variables. Comparisons between ground measurements and C6, as well as C5 LAI/FPAR indicate: (1) MOD...
متن کاملLand cover mapping in support of LAI and FPAR retrievals from EOS-MODIS and MISR: classification methods and sensitivities to errors
Land cover maps are used widely to parameterize the biophysical properties of plant canopies in models that describe terrestrial biogeochemical processes. In this paper, we describe the use of supervised classification algorithms to generate land cover maps that characterize the vegetation types required for Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) retrie...
متن کاملAssessment of MODIS, MERIS, GEOV1 FPAR Products over Northern China with Ground Measured Data and by Analyzing Residential Effect in Mixed Pixel
Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) is a critical parameter in land surface energy balance and climate modeling. Several global FPAR products are available, but these still require considerable assessment and validation due to low spatial resolution. Three major FPAR products that have covered China and provided continuous time series data—MODIS, MERIS and GEOV1—were assessed...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Latest MODIS GPP Products across Multiple Biomes Using Global Eddy Covariance Flux Data
The latest MODIS GPP (gross primary productivity) product, MOD17A2H, has great advantages over the previous version, MOD17A2, because the resolution increased from 1000 m to 500 m. In this study, MOD17A2H GPP was assessed using the latest eddy covariance (EC) flux data (FLUXNET2015 Dataset) at eighteen sites in six ecosystems across the globe. The sensitivity of MOD17A2H GPP to the meteorology ...
