Developing a Sandbox Environment for Prosail, Suitable for Education and Research

We introduce the Interactive Visualization of Vegetation Reflectance Models (IVVRM) tool as a sandbox environment for the PROSAIL family of radiative transfer models. Every interaction with the Graphical User Interface (GUI) invokes a new model run of the updated parameter set and the results are instantly plotted on the screen. The quasi-simultaneous response allows easy hands-on practice with PROSAIL for education and training as well as straightforward inversions of biophysical variables from spectra by manual curve fitting. It is shown that expert knowledge can improve the quality of parameter retrieval and reveal sources of uncertainties in the field data and the models. IVVRM is free of charge and available as an application through the EnMAP-Box 3.0.
