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...

This article presents an analysis of ERS-1 wind-scatterometer (WSC) data acquired over a region located in the northern Sahel. The considered period extends from January 1992 to December 1995, that is, covering four vegetation cycles. Experimental observations show that WSC responses at 45° of i...
