- Abstract
In contrast to ground-based solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (Fs) detection, the influence of atmospheric radiation transfer is the major difficulty in Fs retrieval from space. In this study, we first simulated top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance using FluorMODgui3.1 and MODTRAN5 code. Based on the simulated dataset, we analyzed the sensitivities of five potential Fs retrieval bands (Hα, K I, Fe, O2-A, and O2-B) to different atmospheric transfer parameters, including atmosphere profile, aerosol optical depth (AOD550), vertical water vapor column (H2O), vertical ozone column (O3), solar zenith angle (SZA), view zenith angle (VZA), relative azimuth angle (RAA) and elevation. The results demonstrate that the Hα, O2-A and O2-B bands are the most sensitive to these atmospheric parameters. However, only the O2-A and O2-B bands were found to be sensitive to the imaging geometric parameters. When the spectral resolution was sufficient, the K I and Fe bands proved to have the best potential for space-based Fs retrieval given the current available accuracies of atmospheric products, while the O2-A band was shown to perform better at lower spectral resolutions. The band sensitivity analysis presented here will be useful for band selection and atmospheric correction for space-based Fs retrieval.
