Data arrived from ARSF via network transfer on 4th November 2010.

Scientific objectives:

• addressing atmospheric correction performance and related data quality

as a function of sun elevation

• validity of change detection approaches under varying conditions

(different times, sensors, sun elevation)

Priority: a4h

PI: Eyal Ben-Dor

Sensors:

• Eagle (18/04/2011)
• Hawk (18/04/2011)
• Leica LIDAR (19/09/2011)
• RCD Digital Photography (18/04/2011)

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 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.
