Abstract

The photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is one of the important input parameters in different terrestrial ecosystem models. The estimates of PAR by satellite remote sensing data are beneficial to strengthening continuity and diversity of spatial information. There are uncertainties in the parameters estimated by remote sensing under the complex terrain conditions, meanwhile, the instantaneous PAR estimated by remote sensing is unable to satisfy the requirements in practical application. Therefore, a remote sensing estimation model was developed in this paper to estimate PAR under complicated topography and exemplified in the upper Min River Basin. The instantaneous PAR was estimated based on a simplified atmosphere radiation transfer model and MODIS standard atmospheric products. Then the estimates results were corrected by comprehensive considering variation of incident angle of solar radiation, terrain masking and the effect of radiation enhancement caused by adjacent terrain under the complicated topography. The daily PAR was obtained by linear interpolation algorithm. The instantaneous PAR of the upper Min River Basin on the 22 sunny days in 2013 were estimated. Comparisons of satellite-based and field-based of Maoxian station estimates indicated the average errors of the instantaneous PAR were 7. 26%, the daily PAR were also 7.26%. The research results revealed that the instantaneous PAR and the daily PAR estimated by the model developed in this paper could be available to the complex terrain of the upper Min River Basin.
