Retrieval of the Leaf Area Index from MODIS Top-of-Atmosphere Reflectance Data Using a Neural Network Supported by Simulation Data

The leaf area index (LAI), a key parameter used to characterize the structure and function of the vegetation canopy, is crucial to simulations of the carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles of Earth’s system. In this paper, a neural network (NN) method coupled with vegetation canopy and atmospheric radia...
