Testing an area-weighted model for albedo or surface temperature of mixed pixels in Mediterranean woodlands
Abstract
We have tested the following assumption for a spatially complex area of natural vegetation in Southern France. The spectral response of a mixed pixel is a linear combination of the individual responses of its components. The test has been done with HCMM data: each pixel (500m spatial resolution) has been characterized by its components defined as physiognomical vegetation units. Results from the analysis of multitemporal HCMM data indicate that the assumption is verified for albedos and surface temperatures.
