Abstract: Determination of directional albedo and bidirectional anisotropic function are necessary to the radiance-to-flux conversion. The most recent model, used for the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment data, is based on data from ...

Abstract: In order to use the diurnal variation of Meteosat visible channel data to help determine the bidirectional reflectance function for desert areas, criteria must be established for identifying cloud-free scenes. The authors ...

Abstract: Determination of planetary albedo on the basis of satellite observations of reflected shortwave (SW) radiances requires taking into account the anisotropic (non-Lambertian) reflectance properties of the earth?atmosphere ...

Abstract: Multiangle approaches for radiance-to-flux conversion require accurate coregistration between the observations from nadir- and oblique-viewing directions. The along-track mode of Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) scanning ...
