a Seasonal variations of 8-day leaf area index (LAI) estimates from this study derived by using Eq. (6) in the text and MODIS LAI from 2000 to 2015 and b relative difference between the LAI from this study and the corrected MODIS LAI derived by using the “upper-envelope” smoothing method. In a, the black line represents the raw MODIS LAI, the green line represents the corrected MODIS LAI derived by using the “upper-envelope” smoothing method according to Gu et al. (2006), and the blue line represents the LAI estimates derived by using Eq. (6) in the text. Red circles represent the measured LAI. In b, the black line represents the mean relative difference for data from 2000 to 2015
