It is my great pleasure and honor to take this opportunity to say thank you to many people who helped me during this journey. Foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my thesis supervisor, Professor Jean- Philippe Gastellu-Etchegorry, for his continuous guidance, inspirations, supports and encouragements throughout the period. Without the robust foundation of his great effort during the past 20 years in making DART a mature model, this dissertation would not have been possible. He is respectable as both a researcher and a friend. I especially appreciate his attitude and enthusiasm for pursuing truth and excellence in research, which will be the objectives of my future career as a researcher. I would like to thank the DART team: Nicolas Lauret, Thomas Cajgfinger, Tristan Gregoire, Jordan Guilleux and Lucas Landier, for continuously improving DART code, functionalities (SQL databases, etc.) and modeling components (atmosphere, water, etc.), particularly during the past 6 months which I spent writing papers. I will miss our systematic weekly work meetings. Special thanks to Nicolas for his excellent management of DART computer science, scientific collaboration, especially for LIDAR, and patience in helping me to implement new DART functionalities. He deserves a perfect dissertation next year. I would like to say thank you to all the previous DART team members, including Eloi Grau, Maïlys Lopes, Francois Gonard, Ruzena Janoutova, as well as Zbynekˇ Malenovský and Jean-Baptiste Féret who shared their expertise in spectrometry applied to vegetation, which inspired my research. I appreciated also working with all past and present master and PhD students in DART team, including Josselin Aval, Laurine Marmisse, Sahar Benhmida, Lucas Moresve, Fabien Leclerc, etc. I wish them all bright professional and personal lives. Many thanks to Jeremy Rubio, Bruce Cook, Douglas Morton and Guoqing Sun from Goddard Space Flight Center. During my stay at NASA, I appreciated their hospitality and guidance on present and fu- ture LIDAR systems. Many thanks to Fabian Schneider from Remote Sensing Laboratories (University of Zurich) for his fruitful collaboration, which incited me to improve DART 3D projection. I would like to say thank you to the reviewers of my thesis, Professor Stéphane Jacquemoud and Dr. Grégoire Vincent, for their detailed and valuable remarks and corrections, which definitely make this dissertation a better one. Thanks to all colleagues in CESBIO, for their friendly smiles and daily hellos. I thank also the v security staffs for their night hellos. Working far into the night is now forbidden by the administration. A special thank to my previous group leader, Emmanuel Christophe, who initially recommended me to come to work in CESBIO. Another thank you to Jordi Inglada, who recommended me to join the DART team. Without their recommendations, I would never have got the chance to start this thesis. Thanks to my family and friends in China, Singapore and France, for all their supports. Last but never the least, the most sincere appreciations to my mother and my wife, who gave me the best supports to pursue my dream with their patiences, trusts and love. vi List of publications Articles 1.

These data depend on instrumental (spectral band, spatial resolution, field of view (FOV), etc.) and experimental (landscape and atmosphere architecture and op- tical properties, etc.). The rapid developments in remote sensing techniques requires appropriate tools for validating their working principles and improving the operational use of remote sensing data. Ra- diative Transfer Model (RTM) is a celebrated tool to simulate remote sensing measurements for various applications, including validation of existing systems, inversion for implicit parameters retrieval, prepa- ration of future systems, etc. Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer (DART) model is recognized by the scientific community as
