Comparison of leaf and canopy reflectance of subarctic forests

Near-surface and aerial reflectance of foliage and canopies of subarctic forests were measured in central Alaska near Fairbanks. Bi-directional and hemispherical radiometric data were recorded over wavelengths ranging from 0.285 to 2.8 μm with emphasis on Landsat TM (Thematic Mapper) bands. Comparis...
