Abstract
Global leaf area index (LAI) generally produced based on the satellite sensors with 1 km spatial resolution, such as the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR), moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) and VEGETATION. At present, there isn't a LAI product estimated from the Chinese Feng Yun No.3 (FY-3) images. This study aims to generate a 10-day composite LAI product from FY-3A with a medium resolution spectral imaging (MERSI) at global scale in 2011. Making use of the land cover type as priori knowledge, the LAI for pure vegetation types was inversed from a lookup-table (LUT) based on an stochastic three-dimensional radiative transfer model (3D RTM). For the mixed water and vegetation types, LAI was inversed based on an improved linear decomposition method. The accuracy of LAI inversion from FY-3A MERSI was assessed by LAI field measurements from the Chinese ecosystem research network (CERN) in 2011.
