Abstract
The leaf area index (LAI) and fractional vegetation cover (FVC) are very important parameters in land–atmosphere interactions. In this study, a very simple but robust and mechanism-based method was developed to derive FVC data based on the relationships between the canopy gap fraction, LAI, and direct solar extinction coefficient. For validation, the LAI data and NDVI-based and mechanism-based FVC data were assimilated into the integrated urban land model (IUM). Using the mechanism-based FVC data as the input, the simulation of the annual average land surface temperatures (LSTs) in the Beijing area were improved compared with those using the NDVI-based FVC data as the input.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
