An approach for combining remote sensing spectral measurements with an ecosystem model was presented in an accompanying article. The sahelian grassland ecosystem STEP model developed for that purpose was also described and validated. In order to fulfill a prerequisite for using coarse resolution ...

A regional sahelian grassland model to be coupled with multispectral satellite data. II. Toward the control of its simulations by remotely sensed indices
An approach to combining remote sensing spectral measurements with an ecosystem process model is presented. In this approach, the ecosystem model is not bound by the sole use of satellite data, but integrates the latter in an explicit formulation of the main processes of vegetation functioning. A...

A regional sahelian grassland model to be coupled with multispectral satellite data. I. Model description and validation
Compares normalized difference vegetation index data derived from the advanced very high resolution radiometer on board the NOAA-7 satellite for the 1983 growing season for the saheliant zone of Niger wit biomass estimates derived from an emperical grassland productivity model.
