In Situ Observations

LAI

• Crop Type(s): Forest
• Collection Protocol:

  LAI measurements on the ground (LAI(G)) have been made on the dates of satellite pass using the Plant Canopy Analyzer (Model: LAI – 2200C) of Licor Biosciences, USA. At each measurement location, one above canopy and four below canopy readings (repetition twice) have been recorded to compute a single LAI value. From each measurement location, three LAI value have been recorded. Above and below canopy measurements have been made with a ‘‘fisheye’’ optical sensor with 148º angle of view. An azimuth mask of 270º view cap has been used on LAI-2200C sensor during data collection to block the bright sky for eliminating the shadowing effect of instrument operator.

• Frequency: two / three times per month

Spectral Reflectance

• Crop Type(s): Forest
• Collection Protocol:

  The hyperspectral spectroradiometer “FieldSpec4 Hi-Res” by ASD (Analytical Spectral Devices) has been used to collect canopy reflectance data. The FieldSpec4 Hi-Res spectroradiometer has a spectral range of 350 nm to 2500 nm with a field view of 25 degrees. The measurements have been taken by holding the spectroradiometer at a height of 20-30 centimeters above the canopy (depends on calibration process) with the viewing angle of 25 degrees. From each measurement location, 10-15 canopy reflectance data have been collected

• Frequency: depends on sun conditions

APAR

• Crop Type(s): Forest
• Collection Protocol:

  AccuPAR LP-80 instrument by Decagon Devices
