Abstract :
The relationship between middle infrared reflectance and various scenarios of preceeding rainfall for a range of tropical forest types is investigated. Statistically significant correlations for the relationship were generally observed when the rainfall data were acquired over a period of about a month with a short time lag before image acquisition.
