Photosynthetic climate in selected regions during the northern hemisphere growing season

Photosynthetic climate in selected regions during the northern hemisphere growing season The feasibility of deriving photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from satellite observations on global scale was previously demonstrated (Pinker and Laszlo, 1992). The methodology used was evaluated against available ground truth (Pinker et al., 1993). The objective of this study was to provide, for a first time, consistent information on the temporal and spatial variability in PAR on a continental scale during a growing season; such information can be used to develop new parameterizations of net primary productivity and evapotranspiration, that till now were not possible. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Global Biogeochemical Cycles Wiley

Abstract

The feasibility of deriving photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from satellite observations on global scale was previously demonstrated (Pinker and Laszlo, 1992). The methodology used was evaluated against available ground truth (Pinker et al., 1993). The objective of this study was to provide, for a first time, consistent information on the temporal and spatial variability in PAR on a continental scale during a growing season; such information can be used to develop new parameterizations of net primary productivity and evapotranspiration, that till now were not possible.
