Application of AVHRR vegetation index to study atmosphere-biosphere exchange of CO/sub 2/
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6834220
The advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) satellite-borne sensor is presently used, together with field data, to determine the geographic distributions of the seasonal exchange of CO/sub 2/ between the earth's atmosphere and the terrestrial biota. The exchange functions thus obtained are validated in virtue of the ability to reproduce the observed annual cycle of atmospheric CO/sub 2/ in a three-dimensional tracer transport model. The AVHRR is carried by the TIROS-N series of polar-orbiting satellites.
