Intercomparison of Leaf Area Index Products for a Gradient of Sub-Humid to Arid Environments in West Africa

The Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a key variable in many land surface and climate modeling studies. To date, a number of LAI datasets have been developed based on time series of medium resolution optical remote sensing observations. Global validation exercises show the high value of these datasets, but a...
