Methodology: 5 steps • Définition of the spatial sampling strategy • 2. Local ground georeferenced measurements of LAI, fAPAR, fCover. • 3. Spatial Extension of local measurements using SPOT images • 4- Agregation to estimate the biophysical variables at the large swath sensors resolution, and the associated uncertainty. • 5- Evaluation of the accuracy of estimates over the ensemble of sites and dates available (including MODLAND) CEOS Frascati, 07/05/2001
SITE DISTRIBUTION VALERI CEOS Frascati, 07/05/2001
2001 Schedule 2000: 4 sites for methodological developpements 2001: 14 opérational sites CEOS Frascati, 07/05/2001
What we learned • Définition of the spatial sampling strategy • Method to extend local measurements to the whole site • LAI/fAPAR/fCover Measurements based on hemispherical photos • Aerosol optical depth measurements based on BF2 systems CEOS Frascati, 07/05/2001
Spatial sampling strategy Continuous landscpe Discontinuous landscape 3 Km 3 Km N (=9) transects of 1km length 27 crosses of 12 points: short lags Spatial distribution and Representation of each class Visual notation every 1-4 metres Detailed measurements on a sub-sample Few transects: medium to long lags CEOS Frascati, 07/05/2001

LAI, fAPAR, fCover measurements: Hemispherical photographs LAI2000 sampling • Advantages of hémispherical photos • Short vegetation measurements • Better spatial and directional sampling • Less sensitive to illumination conditions • Acces to clumpiness characteristics CEOS Frascati, 07/05/2001
Aerosol Characterisation : BF2 Measurement of direct PAR irradiance • PAR transmittance related to aerosol optical thickness • Calibration based on Bouguer's line • Validation of the method based on 3 AERONET sites CEOS Frascati, 07/05/2001

Conclusion • STATUS • Advances in methodological developments • 14 sites sampled in 2001 • Good collaboration with MODLAND (common site, data exchange) • PROBLEMS • Albédo, Chlorophyll? • Transfer function between reflectance and measurements? • Additional funding to go up to the validation of products: • ESA (MERIS) • PCRD • … CEOS Frascati, 07/05/2001
