Remote Sensing of Chlorophyll Fluorescence in Oceanography and in Terrestrial Vegetation: An Introduction

  • Chapter
Applications of Chlorophyll Fluorescence in Photosynthesis Research, Stress Physiology, Hydrobiology and Remote Sensing

Abstract

The principles of detection of algal cultures (phytoplankton) in oceanography by remote sensing of the passive (sun light) and active (laser-induced) chlorophyll fluorescence are briefly summarized. The new and future possibilities of remote sensing of the physiological state of terrestrial vegetation via the laser-induced chlorophyll fluorescence, which requires other techniques than in oceanography, are pointed out. The limitations of remote sensing of terrestrial vegetation via reflectance signatures and the advantage of the in vivo chlorophyll fluorescence, which comes only from the green plant parts, are contrasted. Finally the successful application of chlorophyll fluorescence as a superior method of ground truth control related to remote sensing is presented.
