Abstract

We apply a hybrid inversion algorithm to estimate land surface biophysical variables (e.g., leaf area index) from the CHRIS (Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer), and ETM+. Field campaigns were conducted over Tucson, Arizona to validate the algorithms and the products. The derived products were compared for different human management activities. These products are then available for input to a plant growth model for calculating the potential for carbon sequestration.
