PhotoSpec - Comprehensive Ground-Based Studies of Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence: From the New Methods for Measurements of Photosynthesis from Space Study

Creators: Frankenberg, Christian; Drewry, Darren; Stutz, Jochen

Abstract

The major goal of the PhotoSpec program was to develop a set of robust ground-based spectrometers that meet the measurement requirements to retrieve solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence by exploiting solar Fraunhofer lines.

Additional Information

First and foremost, we thank the W.M. Keck Institute for Space Studies and internal funds from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for generously supporting our initial KISS workshop and the follow-on technical development study. Without this support, none of the work presented here would have been possible. Our special thanks goes to Michele Judd, who greatly helped build our fluorescence research community with her commitment to the KISS workshops, as well as her enthusiasm and constant support for the PhotoSpec project. The research project at La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica, is supported by the NSF Career 1077 award (grant # 1455381) and the ECTS-R (Emerging Challenges in Tropical Science-Research) research fellowship provided by the Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS). The authors would like to thank the OTS staff at La Selva, especially D. Dierick, for their continuous help and support with the PhotoSpec installation and maintenance. We thank USDA, in particular Jerry Hatfield, for his incredible support in setting up the PhotoSpec systems around Ames, Iowa. We thank the flux tower team at Niwot Ridge, in particular Sean Burns and Peter Blanken, for their continuous help and support with the PhotoSpec installation and maintenance.
