Simple equation to approximate the bidirectional reflectance from vegetative canopies and bare soil surfaces
TL;DR: A simple equation has been developed for describing the bidirectional reflectance of some vegetative canopies and bare soil surfaces that has many useful applications such as providing a lower level boundary condition in complex plant canopy models and providing an additional tool for studying bid Directional effects on pointable sensors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multisite Analyses of Spectral-Biophysical Data for Corn
TL;DR: In this paper, reflectance factors and biophysical plant measurements for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) experiments conducted at Lubbock, Texas, Manhattan, Kansas, Phoenix, Arizona, Sidney, Montana, and Weslaco, Texas were fit by various equation forms for six currently used vegetation indices (VI): n -space greenness (GVI), perpendicular (PVI), NIR/RED ratio (RVI), SAV12), normalized difference (NDVI), and transformed soil adjusted (TSAVI).
Journal ArticleDOI
A critical review of light models for estimating the shortwave radiation regime of plant canopies
TL;DR: A general review of geometrical and statistical light models is presented in this article, where four different types of leaf dispersion are considered in this review: regular, clumped, random and variable.

Turbulent Exchange Coefficients for Sensible Heat and Water Vapor under Advective Conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the exchange coefficient for sensible heat (KH) was found to be generally greater than that for water vapor (KW) under nonadvection (lapse or unstable) conditions when the net transfer of both sensible heat and water vapor are away from the earth's surface.
