Objectives

Satellite-Based LCLUC Data

Satellite-Based LAI DataUse data-modeling framework to pursue three principal objectives:

Improve our understanding of the historical effects of land cover and landuse change (LCLUC) dynamics on the quantities and pathways ofbiogeochemical carbon and nitrogen fluxes

achieve by linking the satellite-based historical rates of LCLUCs with the biophysicalmodel

Project future LCLUC in the study region in the next 50 yearsachieve by linking the biophysical and socio-economic models

Quantify the impacts of current and future LCLUC on carbon and nitrogendynamics in the study region

achieve by applying an improved version of the biophysical model

Peak LAI Averaged for the Winter Months (Dec., Jan., Feb)

Peak LAI Averaged for the Summer Months (Jun., Jul., Aug)

Monthly climatological (2003-2008) LAI values for monsoon Asia region are estimated using aradiative transfer model. The input to the model are 250 m MODIS surface reflectancedata, 250 m MODIS resampled LC data. All the data and modeling simulations are performedusing the TOPS modeling framework on NASA’s Earth Exchange (NEX) platform.
