Specific Scientific Objectives

1. Development and validation of hyperspectral retrieval algorithms for biophysical parameter estimation in preparation for launch of PRISMA hyperspectral mission. These include;

Leaf area indexn (LAI m2/m2) Fraction of vegetation cover (Fc, %) Leaf chlorophyll concentration and canopy chlorophyll content.

2. Test and validation of remote sensing techniques for qualifying water exchanges in the main tree crop species of the Med.

Data location: ~arsf/arsf_data/2011/flight_data/spain_portugal/EUFAR11_03-2011_092_HYMEDECOS_erosion/

Data arrived from ARSF via network transfer on 19/04/11.

Scientific objective: 1) to derive spatial information on vegetation, soil and terrain for hydrological model input by combined hyperspectral and LiDAR data (2) to conduct a spectral fingerprinting approach allowing to trace back sources and pathways of sediments. Airborne data acquisition will be accompanied by an extensive field campaign.
