Spectral Signatures of Photosynthesis. I. Review of Earth Organisms

Why do plants reflect in the green and have a “red edge” in the red, and should extrasolar photosynthesis be the same? We provide (1) a brief review of how photosynthesis works, (2) an overview of the ...

Shortwave Spectral Radiative Signatures and Their Physical Controls

The spectrum of reflected solar radiation emerging at the top of the atmosphere is rich with Earth system information. To identify spectral signatures in the reflected solar radiation and directly ...

Developmental changes in the reflectance spectra of temperate deciduous tree leaves and implications for thermal emissivity and leaf temperature

• Leaf optical properties impact leaf energy balance and thus leaf temperature. The effect of leaf development on mid-infrared (MIR) reflectance, and hence thermal emissivity, has not been ...

The Science of Non-resolved Space Object Signatures for Space Domain Awareness

This project is focused on leveraging modeling and simulation of non-resolved space object signatures utilizing the DIRSIG software model to better understand spectral signature phenomenology. The non ...
