NAFE 3rd Workshop Sept 2007 Strong effort on the organization collect of VGT images, consistency Classification labeled thanks to in situ inquiries, but the labeling has to be considered with care. CONCLUSIONS Toward modeling studies involving prepared layers, (optical and thermal data). SMOS L2 ->L4 ; NAFE06 Investigation on the potential of optical sat. data to assess the plant water status: Disappointing with SPOT/VGT (1km2=pixel heterogeneity) Encouraging with MODIS (250m) Relative good score for SWVI (2.1 m) compared to NDVI and .
