abstract = {Chlorophyll fluorescence is related to photosynthesis and
can serve as a remote sensing proxy for estimating
photosynthetic energy conversion and carbon uptake. Recent
advances in sensor technology allow remote measurements of
the sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence signal (Fs) at leaf
and canopy scale. The commonly used Fraunhofer Line Depth
(FLD) principle exploits spectrally narrow atmospheric
oxygen absorption bands and relates Fs to the difference of
the absorption feature depth of a fluorescensing and a
non-fluorescensing surface. However, due to the nature of
these narrow bands. Fs retrieval results depend not only on
vegetation species type or environmental conditions, but
also on instrument technology and processing algorithms.
Thus, an evaluation of all influencing factors and their
separate quantification is required to further improve Fs
retrieval and to allow a reproducible interpretation of Fs
signals.Here we present a modeling study that isolates and
quantifies the impacts of sensor characteristics, such as
spectral sampling interval (SSI), spectral resolution (SR),
signal to noise ratio (SNR), and spectral shift (SS) on the
accuracy of Fs measurements in the oxygen A band centered at
760 nm (O-2-A). Modeled high resolution radiance spectra
associated with known Fs were spectrally resampled, taking
into consideration the various sensor properties. Fs was
retrieved using the three most common FLD retrieval methods,
namely the original FLD method (sFLD), the modified FLD
(3FLD) and the improved FLD (iFLD). The analysis
investigates parameter ranges, which are representative for
field and airborne instruments currently used in Fs research
(e.g., ASD FieldSpec, OceanOptics HR, AirFLEX, AISA, APEX,
CASI, and MERIS).Our results show that the most important
parameter affecting the retrieval accuracy is SNR, SR
accounts for <= $40\%$ of the error, the SSI for <= $12\%,$
and SS for <= $7\%$ of the error. A trade-off study revealed
that high SR can partly compensate for low SNR. There is a
strong interrelation between all parameters and the impact
of specific parameters can compensate or amplify the
influence of others. Hence, the combination of all
parameters must be considered by the evaluation of sensors
and their potential for Fs retrieval. In general, the
standard FLD method strongly overestimates Fs, while 3FLD
and iFLD provide a more accurate estimation of Fs. We
conclude that technical sensor specifications and the
retrieval methods cause a significant variability in
retrieved Fs signals. Results are intended to be one
relevant component of the total uncertainty budget of Fs
retrieval and have to be considered in the interpretation of
retrieved Fs signals. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights
