Solar Induced Fluorescence Suite
Overview
This suite consists of ground based and UAV mounted sensors designed to measure solar induced fluorescence, a key parameter for measuring vegetation health, and potentially providing accurate estimates of crop yield. The suite is designed to take high spatial resolution measurements of SIF and to validate airborne and future satellite sensor measurements of SIF. This allows plant photosynthesis to be estimated and so supports NERC science areas “climate and climate change”, “ecology, biodiversity and systematics” and “terrestrial and freshwater environments”.
