Comparison of in Situ Plant Area Index and Remotely Sensed Leaf Area Index of Northeastern American Deciduous, Mixed, and Coniferous Forests for SMAPVEX19-22

Comparison of in Situ Plant Area Index and Remotely Sensed Leaf Area Index of Northeastern American Deciduous, Mixed, and Coniferous Forests for SMAPVEX19-22

Leaf area index (LAI) and plant area index (PAI) are critical biophysical parameters for quantifying foliage density of crops and trees. As such they may also be effective metrics to estimate the impact of leafy vegetation on microwave signals, such as the radiometer on board NASA’s soil...
