In recent years these concerns have become more prominent due to a series of problems involving large geographic regions such as; understanding the effects of the increases in carbon dioxide, understanding the causes and consequences of changes in the ozone layer, and resolving the anthropogenic influence on the acidity of precipitation. Clearly the global scope of these and other problem areas requires both a multidisciplinary, as well as a multinational approach for their solution. In order to address these problems, observational capabilities must be employed ranging from in situ and laboratory measurements to satellite based global remote sensing. An Earth Observing System (Eos) is planned to meet many of these requirements for remote sensing from low Earth orbiting satellites. A number of instruments are under consideration as the payload for the sun-synchronous satellite platforms. The payload is conceptually grouped into three packages to illustrate the synergistic relationships that exist among the instruments.","PeriodicalId":339230,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Laser and Optical Remote Sensing: Instrumentation and Techniques","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122955057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since chlorophyll a shows a strong fluorescence emission in the wavelength region between 67 0 nm and 740 nm it is attractive to analyze the potential of laser fluorosensors in the remote sensing of living plants. While a quite large number of papers were devoted to the lidar remote sensing of chlorophyll fluorescence in phytoplancton only few papers has been devoted to the remote sensing of chlorophyll fluorescence in living plants. A research program in this field was started as a part of a national program on agriculture improvement (IPRA Project), the analysis was carried out in the laboratory by means of a lidar simulator and in fields by means of the lidar fluorosensor FLIDAR-2.","PeriodicalId":339230,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Laser and Optical Remote Sensing: Instrumentation and Techniques","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133382649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
