LAI and fCover generation using high resolution images To evaluate the uncertainty in the prediction of the biophysical variables (LAI and fCover) due to the coarse spatial resolution of the MODIS sensor by using high resolution optical data Particular relevance will be given to the temporal profile of LAI and fCover along the different seasons and according to the main and back-up MODIS algorithms.

Comparison:MODIS – high resolution data Probability density functions (pdf) of LAI and fCover estimated from high resolution data are determined for a sufficient number of MODIS pixels of different land use. Based on these analyses, uncertainty assessment of parameter retrievals is carried out separately for the four major native pasturelands, identified from the southeast to northwest: bush-meadow, alpine meadow, alpine grassland and desert grassland.
