• The increasing availability of spatial data and the growing interest in quantifying terrestrial carbon flux have driven rapid progress in the integration of modeling and remote sensing
• Most studies use remote sensing data to drive models
• Few studies integrate terrestrial remote sensing and carbon models through data assimilation at the regional scales

Validation of MODIS leaf area index (LAI) collection-4 product
Since the number of unknowns >> number of observations, remote sensing inversion is always an ill-posed problem.
Although extensive validation efforts have been made, product uncertainties have not well characterized.
It is difficult to define the error matrix in the cost function

Other data issues• Data products may not have the consistent spatial and
temporal resolutions, upscaling and downscaling often cause problems;
• The generated remotely sensed products may not be consistent with what the model defines– Remotely sensed skin temperature is an average measure of the
mixed pixel, while many models define leaf/soil sunlit/shadow temperatures
– Some models calculate NDVI above the canopy, but many remotely sensed NDVI products are calculated from the top of the atmosphere
• The volume and format (e.g., HDF, map projections) of the products may be very challenging to many users

Final remarks
• NDVI is not everything, and remotes ensing can produce much more than just NDVI
• Interactions between remote sensing scientists and carbon modelers are critical
• Joint activities to bridge the disciplines, for example, joint workshop, training classes, joint textbooks, joint research projects…
