Journal ArticleDOI
Retrieving Leaf Area Index of Boreal Conifer Forests Using Landsat TM Images
Jing M. Chen,Josef Cihlar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the TRAC (Tracing Radiation and Architecture of Canopies) to quantify the effect of canopy architecture on optical measurements of leaf area index, and found that effective LAI is less variable and easier to measure than LAI, and is also an intrinsic attribute of plant canopies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) : an overview and early results from the 1994 field year
Piers J. Sellers,Forrest G. Hall,K. Jon Ranson,Hank A. Margolis,Bob Kelly,Dennis D. Baldocchi,Gerry den Hartog,Josef Cihlar,Michael G. Ryan,Barry Goodison,Patrick M. Crill,Dennis P. Lettenmaier,Diane Wickland +12 more
TL;DR: The Boreal Ecosystem Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) as mentioned in this paper is a large-scale international field experiment that has the goal of improving our understanding of the exchanges of radiative energy, heat water, CO2, and trace gases between the boreal forest and the lower atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Daily canopy photosynthesis model through temporal and spatial scaling for remote sensing applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an analytical solution to a simplified daily integral of Farquhar's model by considering the general diurnal patterns of meteorological variables (radiation, temperature and humidity).
Journal ArticleDOI
Derivation and validation of Canada-wide coarse-resolution leaf area index maps using high-resolution satellite imagery and ground measurements
Jing M. Chen,G. Pavlic,L Brown,Josef Cihlar,Sylvain G. Leblanc,H.P. White,Ronald J. Hall,Derek R. Peddle,Douglas J. King,John A. Trofymow,E Swift,J.J. van der Sanden,Petri Pellikka +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a group of Canadian scientists acquired LAI measurements during the summer of 1998 in deciduous, conifer, and mixed forests, and in cropland.
Journal ArticleDOI
BOREAS in 1997: Experiment overview, scientific results, and future directions
Piers J. Sellers,Forrest G. Hall,Robert D. Kelly,Andrew Black,Dennis D. Baldocchi,Joseph A. Berry,Michael G. Ryan,K. Jon Ranson,Patrick M. Crill,Dennis P. Lettenmaier,Hank A. Margolis,Josef Cihlar,Jeffrey A. Newcomer,David R. Fitzjarrald,Paul G. Jarvis,Stith T. Gower,David H. Halliwell,Darrel L. Williams,Barry Goodison,Diane Wickland,Florian E. Guertin +20 more
TL;DR: The goal of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) is to improve our understanding of the interactions between the boreal forest biome and the atmosphere in order to clarify their roles in global change as discussed by the authors.
