Abstract :
The European CYCLOPES project will soon provide biophysical products from the synergy of large swath sensors on an operational basis. This paper is dedicated to the description of the retrieval algorithm. The latter relies on a physical model of reflectance and is regionalized, i.e. based on biome type and radiometric data derived from the CYTTARES database.
