Scales (Geographic resolution)
“…, many of the key processes that control climate sensitivity or abrupt climate changes (e.g., clouds, vegetation, oceanic convection) depend on very small spatial scales. They cannot be represented in full detail in the context of global models, and scientific understanding of them is still notably incomplete.”

Trends
Ground based and regional scale (‘airborne’) remote sensing currently undergoes a revival (…necessary for a complete observing system…)
Areas undergoing multiple pressures must be simultaneously addressed using a coherent instrumented approach
Transitional zones (and Ecotones) where pressure between blue (water) –green (vegetation) – red (urbanization) is highest, are where most short to medium term changes are taking place (often induced through human activities)
Increasing awareness of the international agendas on these issues (GEO, EU FP programmes, NRC, etc.)

Model Inversion in Remote SensingLittle to no well-posed inversion problems exist in remote sensing
Mathematical inversion satisfying the Hadamard criteria lead to ‘non-physical’parameters (little use in remote sensing)Inversion for bio-/geophysical parameters is ill-posed and often ill-conditioned (eg inversion of SAIL/PROSPECT)Parameters retrieved using intermediate solutions (eg RPV inversion / Minnaert’s k) may be further assessed
Inversion quality using radiative transfer models has been improvedUsing higher quality measurements (instrumented approach)‘Optimization’ of the ill-conditioned part
• Recovering a limited number of parameters• Using Bayesian inference• Using expert systems (eg stratification)• Using advanced spectral libraries (estimates of probability density functions (PDF))
Improve representation of all relevant scatterers (eg PV vs NPV, woody elements)
Alternatively use direct radiance data assimilation in process models

Challenges
Remote sensing products have become expert systemsUsing full dimensionality of long time series (spectral, spatial and temporal)Independence of parameter estimates must be secured
Improvement of radiative transfer based approaches Ongoing discussion of representation of scatterers (eg twigs, bark, understorey)Scattering component separation (PV vs NPV; lignin-cellulose-soil organic carbonates)Physical soil models are still not existing in optical remote sensing
Emerging quality of ecosystem understanding by assessingIntegration of leaf optical properties with photosynthesis modelsSimultaneous Pigment retrieval (Chl a/b, Xantophyll, etc.) and other relevant leaf molecules (Cellulose, Lignin, etc.)Plant Functional Types (many definitions, not only successional stages but pigment based)
Solid coupling of atmospheric chemistry and dynamic vegetationWater masking effectsSurface reflectance (‘where is top-of-canopy?’)

Outlook
Effective coupling of Earth System Science approachesDynamic vegetation and atmospheric chemistry (eg Wet and dry nitrogen deposition)Radiative transfer in coastal zones (water masking effects (atmosphere, ocean, algae, vegetation)
Combined down- and upscalingDominant species distribution changes assessed using potential vegetation maps and continuous fields of actual vegetationThematic disaggregation (regionalization of spatial information)
Vertical and horizontal integration of observational systemsGround observations, SensorNets, close sensing, airborne, spaceborneobservationsPhysical products including uncertainties (eg BRDF and Albedo with associated uncertainties)

Traditions I
A typical dialogue at Univ. of Zurich campus:A: “I will be working in a project lead by Alterra in Wageningen.”B: “Excellent, a project at Wageningen University, you can’t decline such an opportunity!”A: “Well, it’s Alterra, not Wageningen University!”B: “Oh, …, I understand, [silence] … Alterra…, is there also an Alterra in Wageningen? Are you sure this is not the University?”

Traditions II
A typical dialogue at WUR campusA: “I am leaving to work for the University of Zurich”B: “Excellent, a job at the ETH, you can’t decline such an opportunity!”A: “Well, it’s the University of Zurich, not ETH”B: “Oh, …, I understand, … [silence] University…, is there also a University in Zurich? Are you sure you want to leave?”
