1 POTENTIALS FOR DETECTING CANOPY WATER STRESS USING GEOSTATIONARY MSG-SEVIRI SWIR DATA Rasmus Fensholt, *Department of Geography and Geology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Co-workers; Silvia Huber*, Simon R. Proud*, Mads O. Rasmussen*, Inge Sandholt, Simon Stisen**, Cheikh Mbow, UCAD Senegal 1

2 Water; primary potential climatic constraint to plant growth (4% of Earth's Terrestrial Surface) Outline: EO-based Canopy Water Stress detection In situ measured Canopy Water Stress Potential climatic constraints to plant growth. Nemani et al. (23) Results & validation - from point observations - validation in the spatial domain 2

3 EO-based Canopy Water Stress detection Absorption by leaf water occurs in SWIR - Shortwave infrared reflectance is negatively related to leaf water content - Increased reflectance in SWIR is the most consistent leaf reflectance response to plant stress in general, including water stress. SWIR reflectance influenced by; Leaf water content Leaf internal structure Leaf dry matter content Prospect+Sail models; Zarco-Tejada and Ustin 21 Cw (water thickness)=.1 NIR reflectance influenced by; Leaf internal structure Leaf dry matter content Cw =.3 CW =.1 MSG Band 1 Band 2 Band 3 CW =.3 3
