Adapting the FLEX Fluorescence retrieval concept from land vegetation to inland water

The aim of this work is to implement and test the SIF retrieval algorithm developed for vegetation applications to model and fit the SIF signal in waterleaving radiance spectra. The results obtained on the simulated dataset show the promising theoretical perspective to use the FLEX technique also on water targets. This preliminary results will be further compared and discussed in regard of real ground-based experimental measurements recently acquired during a number of field campaigns.
