TL;DR: In this article, an advanced algorithm to retrieve the radiative properties of terrestrial surfaces sampled by the Meteosat visible instrument was derived in a companion paper and the required procedures to screen clear sky conditions only and retrieve the likely solution of the inverse problem were presented and evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation System (CCDAS) to systematically calibrate some 70 parameters of the terrestrial BETHY (Biosphere Energy Transfer Hydrology) model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale application of the Joint Research Centre Two-stream Inversion Package (JRC-TIP), using MODIS broadband visible and near-infrared white sky surface albedos as inputs, is described.

TL;DR: In this article, the accuracy of the operational Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) Level 2 land product corresponds to the Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) value is estimated from daily MERIS spectral measurements acquired at the top-of-atmosphere, using a physically based approach.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare spatially explicit process-model based estimates of the terrestrial carbon balance and its components over Africa and confront them with remote sensing based proxies of vegetation productivity and atmospheric inversions of land-atmosphere net carbon exchange.
