Abstract: A set of bi-directional reflectance models is presented for various atmospheric scene types. The models were composited from data collected from an aircraft platform in May-July 1979 during Summer MONEX. The space scale ...

Abstract: The results of a laboratory experiment are presented that provide additional verification of the methodology adapted for simulation of the radiances reflected from fields of optically thick clouds using the Cloud Field ...

Abstract: Analyses of bidirectional reflectance data are presented with implications regarding the spatial scales appropriate for inferring irradiances from radiances reflected by various surface?atmosphere scenes. Multiple-angle ...

Abstract: A model which includes the effects of water vapor and droplet absorption in finite cloud radiative transfer calculations is described. The effect of absorption on the directional reflectance values of finite clouds and ...

Abstract: Beam transmittance, emittance, reflectance, and outgoing radiance are inferred from interferometric measurements in the infrared window region for 14 temperate continental and 12 subtropical cirrus cloud cash observed ...

Abstract: A band absorption model is used in conjunction with a Monte Carlo scattering model to calculate the amount of solar radiation absorbed above, below, within and adjacent to cubic, finite clouds. Horizontally and vertically ...
