FLEX  

Definition

  • The Earth Explorer - Fluorescence Explorer (FLEX) mission will map vegetation fluorescence to quantify photosynthetic activity. The conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide and sunlight into energy-rich carbohydrates through photosynthesis is one of the most fundamental processes on Earth – and one on which we all depend. Information from FLEX will improve our understanding of the way carbon moves between plants and the atmosphere and how photosynthesis affects the carbon and water cycles. (en)
