Abstract
This paper describes the methodology used to create a spectral index to retrieve vegetation water content from remotely sensed data in the solar spectrum domain. A global sensitivity analysis GSA using radiative transfer models is used to understand and quantify vegetation water content effects on the signal measured at three levels: leaf, canopy, and atmosphere. An index is then created that optimises retrieval of vegetation water content in terms of water quantity per unit area at canopy level and minimises perturbing effects of geophysical and atmospheric effects. The new index, optimised for the new SPOT-VEGETATION sensor, is presented as an example. Limitations and robustness of the index are also discussed.
