Hot days induced by precipitation deficits at the global scale (2012, background): “due to retrieval difficulties over densely vegetated areas (10, 25)); and third, the SPI—contrary to retrievals from RS, which undergo a postprocessing—is available in near real time, which is essential for timely forecasting.”
Effective tree scattering and opacity at L-band (2012, methodology): “…over vegetated terrain, the spaceborne baseline algorithms use the tau–omega model (Mo, et al., 1982), a zero-order Radiative Transfer (RT) solution, due to its simplicity, and ease of inversion and implementation (Jackson, 1993; Njoku et al., 2003; Owe et al., 2001; Wigneron et al., 2007).”
