TL;DR: In this article, the spectral signatures of three basic components: atmospheric absorption, surface reflectance, and fluorescence radiance are disentangled using a principal component analysis (PCA) approach.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how evapotranspiration represents the key variable in linking ecosystem functioning, carbon and climate feedbacks, agricultural management, and water resources, and highlight both the outstanding science and applications questions and the actions, especially from a space-based perspective, necessary to advance them.

TL;DR: In this article, high-spectral resolution data from the Thermal And Near-infrared Sensor for carbon Observation - Fourier Transform Spectrometer (TANSO-FTS) on the Japanese Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) was used to derive chlorophyll fluorescence and related parameters such as the fluorescence yield at that wavelength.

TL;DR: This review distills the historical and current developments spanning the last several decades of SIF heritage and complementarity within the broader field of fluorescence science, the maturation of physiological and radiative transfer modelling, SIF signal retrieval strategies, techniques for field and airborne sensing, advances in satellite-based systems, and applications of these capabilities in evaluation of photosynthesis and stress effects.

TL;DR: G-LiHT data enhance the ability to validate data from existing satellite missions and support NASA Earth Science research, and the data processing system and higher-level data products that are freely distributed under NASA’s Data and Information policy are described.
