SCOPE aims to facilitate reserarch into the relationships between optical and thermal remote sensing and photosynthesis and the energy balance. As part of ESA’s “FLEX/Sentinel-3 Tandem Mission Photosynthesis study”, SCOPE has been expanded with new modules such as leaf biochemistry models for C3 and C4 species. Also model developments by F. Magnani have been implemented, being biochemical routines based on the Farquhar et al. (1980) and von Caemmerer (2000) models.
ARTMO’s architecture is used to provide SCOPE and added biochemistry models with user-friendly GUIs to facilitate automated running of the model and storing simulated spectra. Accordingly, this software package is hereafter referred as A-SCOPE.
