PRELIMINARY RESEARCH FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF GLOBAL LAND COVER PRODUCT USING GCOM-C/SGLI DATA

摘要

Global land cover data is used for calculating the terrestrial carbon and water cycle process. For example, it is used for estimating the Leaf Area Index (LAI) on global area, which is in turn used for calculating the Net Primary Production (NPP). We are planning to produce a global land cover product using the data from SGLI on board the Global Change Observation Mission - Climate (GCOM-C) satellite. In this paper, we introduce the method for producing training data used for global land cover mapping. We used a radiative transfer simulator, the Forest Light Environmental Simulator (FLiES), to compute the reflectance data for various kinds of land covers. The produced training data will be used for mapping the global land cover using SGLI data.
