Abstract

The SCOPE model embeds the state of art for coupling soil vegetation atmosphere transfer (SVAT) and radiative transfer models (RTM). For that reason the FLuorescence EXplorer (FLEX) mission selected this model to derive vegetation properties through inversion. However inverse problem is often ill-posed, providing equally likely solutions and hence inflating the uncertainty of the retrieved parameters. In this work we test the use of different priors based on ancillary measurements and literature to support multiple-constrain inversion of SCOPE. Results show that prior information on the relationships between variables such as leaf chlorophyll content (C ab ), leaf carotenoids content (C ca ), leaf water content (C w ) and/or maximum carboxylation rate (V cmax ) reduce inversion uncertainties and overfitting, and should be sampled/estimated together with optical data.
