Modeling Top of Atmosphere Radiance over Heterogeneous Non-Lambertian Rugged Terrain

Modeling Top of Atmosphere Radiance over Heterogeneous Non-Lambertian Rugged Terrain

Topography affects the fraction of direct and diffuse radiation received on a pixel and changes the sun–target–sensor geometry, resulting in variations in the observed radiance. Retrieval of surface–atmosphere properties from top of atmosphere radiance may need to account for topographic effects. Th...
