Abstract

An overview of the solar induced fluorescence experiment (SIFLEX) campaign, which aimed to understand whether solar induced fluorescence measurements could be used to monitor and map the photochemical activity of boreal forests from space, was presented. The objective of the campaign was to collect complimentary measurements for fluorescence interpretation and radiative modelling purposes. The measurements carried out included solar induced fluorescence of the forest canopy at different scales using instruments developed in-house by LURE, solar radiation measurements, thermal measurements and reflectance measurements. Through the SIFLEX campaign researchers gained experience in the characterization of boreal forests for remote sensing studies.
