B42A:
Integrating Remote Sensing Observations and Eddy Covariance Observations I


Session ID#: 9018

Session Description:
Both satellite observations and flux measurements provide information about the earth's carbon, water and energy cycles. Used in concert, these tools have the capability for robust generalizations of ecosystem sensitivity to global change at various spatial and temporal scales. Measurements from flux towers provide continuous measurements that facilitate exploration of the exchange of carbon dioxide between the land surface and the atmosphere at fine temporal and spatial scales, while satellite observations can fill in the large spatial gaps of in-situ measurements and provide long-term temporal continuity. This session aims to address two related questions with regard to the integration of these complementary data sources.  First, how can we integrate remote sensing observations and in-situ measurements at the local, regional, and global scale? Second, what insights can we gain from the integration of these tools that could not be determined using either tool alone?
