Sunday – 09/26/2010

  • Making progress on translation of PROSAIL 5B into IDL.
  • Found method to solve for multiple parameters using least squares approach, will use this to best fit PROSAIL to CAO hyperspectral data, deriving LAI data for my study area. See:

Of particular interest is his code:

MPFIT - Robust non-linear least squares curve fitting.

  • New and recalibrated PAR sensors arrived on Saturday. Need to install these on the microclimate stations.
