Groundwater
Global Climate Observation System requires Leaf Area Index (LAI) asmapped at ~250m resolution as an essential climate variable.
Current global LAI products do not consistently meet GCOS specification for accuracy in part due to sensitivity to atmospheric effects, variability in soils and land cover.
MERIS has sufficient spatial resolution to meet GCOS requirements and it provides unique spectral sampling with 15 narrow bands.
Current MERIS LAI algorithms are based on various multi-spectral approaches and somehow results are not up to the GCOS requirement.
In this study we assess the potential for using MERIS for LAI retrieval using red edge parameters/derivatives estimated by first approximating full spectral reflectances curves using standard MERIS sampling.

Current ‘multispectral’ MERIS LAI algorithms show typical problems of land cover sensitivity and saturation at LAI>4.
MERIS spectral sampling may be sufficient to retrieve LAI sensitive parameters specially red edge indices but our approach could be made more physically realistic.
Theory suggests that a red edge NDVI will be related to LAI and leaf albedo but minimally to soil albedo and acquisition geometry. (Sensitivity to LAI > sensitivity to leaf albedo)
Our data verifies that red edge based indices tend to reduce sensitivity to land cover type and minimize saturation at high LAI.
We did not test sensitivity to atmosphere or acquisition geometry or understory variability. The use of additional spectral bands to address background reflectance variability needs to be investigated.
