Abstract

Clumping Index (CI) is an important vegetation structure parameter, which describes the grouping of leaves relative to the random distribution. Multi-angle data of the POLarization and Directionality of Earth Reflectance (POLDER) sensor (about 6×7 km) and the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectradiometer (MODIS) (500 m) are two main sources for global CI products. To better understand the variability inherent in CIs of such different spatial resolutions and optimize the used of CI products, extensive POLDER CIs and corresponding MODIS CIs were retrieved and compared in this study. Field measurements were conduct in one selected POLDER pixel in Hebei, China. Our results showed that POLDER and MODIS CIs presented relative good consistency (R2=0.65, RMSE=0.07, bias=0.003), and the correlation coefficient can reach 0.98 at the class level. Both POLDER CI (0.67) and MODIS CI (0.62±0.06) showed good consistency with field CIs (0.64±0.10) and POLDER CI was more likely to overestimate than MODIS CI.
