| dc.description.abstract | Effective integration of optical remote sensing with flux measurements across multiple scales is essential for understanding global patterns of surface–atmosphere fluxes of carbon and water vapor. SpecNet (Spectral Network) is an international network of cooperating investigators and sites linking optical measurements with flux sampling for the purpose of improving our understanding of the controls on these fluxes. An additional goal is to characterize disturbance impacts on surface–atmosphere fluxes. To reach these goals, key SpecNet objectives include the exploration of scaling issues, development of novel sampling tools, standardization and intercomparison of sampling methods, development of models and statistical methods that relate optical sampling to fluxes, exploration of component fluxes, validation of satellite products, and development of an informatics approach that integrates disparate data sources across scales. Examples of these themes are summarized in this review. | |
| dc.description.sponsorship | The SpecNet Working Group was made possible by a grant from the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). Thanks to the many working group participants and SpecNet investigators, who provide continued inspiration for this effort. Thanks to the staff of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area (US Park Service) for access to the Cheeseboro Canyon site (Fig. 2). D. Kimura provided the artwork for Fig. 1. Completion of this manuscript was made possible with support from NSF CREST and Ecosystems grants to J.A.G. | |
