A laser technique for characterizing the geometry of plant canopies [PDF]
The interception of solar power by the canopy is investigated as a function of solar zenith angle (time), component of the canopy, and depth into the canopy.

Contribution of leaf specular reflection to canopy reflectance under black soil case using stochastic radiative transfer model [PDF]
, 2018 Numerous canopy radiative transfer models have been proposed based on the assumption of “ideal bi-Lambertian leaves” with the aim of simplifying the interactions between photons and vegetation canopies.

Estimating Cotton Nitrogen Nutrition Status Using Leaf Greenness and Ground Cover Information
Remote Sensing, 2015 Assessing nitrogen (N) status is important from economic and environmental standpoints. To date, many spectral indices to estimate cotton chlorophyll or N content have been purely developed using statistical analysis approach where they are often subject

Aerodynamic characteristics of a hypersonic parachute [PDF]
, 1961 Newtonian theory, both in the form of the Modified-Newtonian and the Newton- Busemann pressure laws, is used to find the shape, cloth area and drag of the axisymmetric canopy of a hypersonic parachute, whose only load-carrying fibres are longitudinal ...
