The CEFLES2 (CarboEurope, FLEX and Sentinel-2) experimental field campaign wasconceived as a collective multi-objective campaign exploiting synergies between three experiments collocated in the Les Landes region of France during the period April to September 2007, thus encompassing a large fraction of the vegetation cycle of the different land covers and crops.


1. CEFLES2 campaign1. CEFLES2 campaign

The objective within theCEFLES2 campaign was tocollect biophysical paramethersdata related with thephotosinthesis, energy fluxes, etc, in different agriculturaland forest areas.

Measurement activities were constrained within a rectangle from Bordeaux to Toulouse in Southwest France. The majority of sites lie in the Les Landes forested area and the adjacent intermediate zone, in the transition between forested and cultivated areas.

The Global Change Unit measurements were carried out mainly in the agricultural areanear Marmande and the forest area of Le Bray

• Marmande site:

The site comprises large fields of winter wheat, corn and rapeseed at three separate locations on flat land in the Garonne valley bottom.

Continuos measurements werecarried out using radiometersinstalled on masts, simultaneoslywith the sensors overpasses.

4. Summary and Conclusions4. Summary and Conclusions

A set of Split window algorithms has been developed to retrieve LST from AATSR data

Satellite images from AATSR, SEVIRI and MODIS has been acquired during the CEFLES2 campaign, carried out in the Les Landes region of France. Split window algorithms developed for SEVIRI and MODIS by the Global Change Unit has been applied to the images acquired to retrieve LST

A comparison has been carried out between the SW algorithms proposed and the LST products for AATSR, SEVIRI and MODIS data distributed by ESA, LandSaf and EOS data Gateway, respectively.

The comparison shows:

-LST from AATSR SW algorithm proposed is generally higher-AATSR SW algorithm proposed has a good agreement with in situ data

-AATSR SW algorithm proposed has a good agreement with the SEVIRI SW and LandSAF and MODIS SW images.

-Less agreement has been observed for AATSR ESA product and MODIS EOS.


PROBLEMSSome problems remain in data quality

– Cloud flagging – well known problem for many sensors

– Continuity at biome boundaries– Resolution (0.5x0.5) not adequate for

heterogeneous surfaces (i, land cover, and f fractional vegetation cover) .

What about the dynamic of Land cover?Why not the same that the AATSR spatial

resolution (1 km x 1km) ?

– Limitations of scale of auxiliary data– LST product only nadir view.

TOWARDS SOME IMPROVEMENTS...but less

operational?• To optimise (i and f) the AATSR LST PRODUCT

for each test site (Methodologies for heterogeneous areas)• To estimate W from AATSR data (SWCVR? Others?)• To evaluate emissivity from AATSR data (from NDVI, from dynamic land cover maps?)• THE AATSR NOVELTY IS THE BIANGULAR. WHY

NOT TO EXPLOIT THIS AND To develop dual angle algorithms (better LST retrievals) for homogeneous areas.

(field measurements of emissivity angular variation)

Is time to know the interest of this?
