Calibrating a coupled SVAT-vegetation growth model with remotely sensed reflectance and surface temperature--a case study for the HAPEX-Sahel grassland sites

Models simulating the seasonal growth of vegetation have been recently coupled to soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer schemes (SVATS). Such coupled vegetation-SVATS models (V-S) account for changes of the vegetation leaf area index (LAI) over time.
