BOREAS RSS-04 1994 Southern Study Area Jack Pine LAI & FPAR Data

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: September 02, 2026 at 12:38 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 01, 2026
The RSS-04 team collected several data sets related to leaf, plant, and stand physical, optical, and chemical properties. This data set contains leaf area indices and FPAR measurements which were taken at the three conifer sites in the BOREAS SSA during August 1993 and at the jack pine tower flux and a subset of auxiliary sites during July and August 1994. The measurements were made with LAI-2000 and Ceptometer instruments. The measurements were taken for the purpose of model parameterization and to test empirical relationships that were hypothesized between biophysical parameters and remotely sensed data.
