▪ Abstract Models of processes in the alpine snow cover fundamentally depend on the
spatial distribution of the surface energy balance over areas where topographic variability …

Forest biomass monitoring is at the core of the research agenda due to the critical
importance of forest dynamics in the carbon cycle. However, forest biomass is never directly …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) radiative transfer simulations are critical for studying the
radiometric properties of canopies. Efficient and easy-to-use 3D radiative transfer models …

Rugged terrain, including mountains, hills, and some high lands are typical land surfaces
around the world. As a physical parameter for characterizing the anisotropic reflectance of …

We describe and validate an automated model that retrieves subpixel snow-covered area
and effective grain size from Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data …

Physically‐based models of vegetation reflectance serve as a basis for extracting vegetation
variables using directional and spectral data from modern‐borne sensors (eg, MODIS …

This study explores the relationship between laser waveforms and canopy structure
parameters and the effects of the spatial arrangement of canopy structure on this …

Remote sensing techniques that utilize light detection and ranging (lidar) provide unique
data on canopy geometry and subcanopy topography. This type of information will lead to …

Featuring contributors from 17 countries, this book systematically presents recent advances
in environmental remote sensing. First, the text provides the latest developments in remote …

Satellite retrieved values of Land Surface Temperature (LST) over structured heterogeneous
pixels generally depend on viewing and illumination angles as well as on the characteristics …
