RISModeling the Scattering of Light by Homogeneous Vegetation in Optical Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper discusses the problem of radiation transfer in geophysical media, in particular, within homogeneous plant canopies over terrestrial surfaces. The emphasis is placed on the specificities of this problem when it ...
The Concept of Essential Climate Variables in Support of Climate Research, Applications, and Policy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: esearch, monitoring, prediction, and related services rely on accurate observations of the atmosphere, land, and ocean, adequately sampled globally and over sufficiently long time periods. The Global Climate Observing ...

Global-Scale Comparison of MISR and MODIS Land Surface Albedos
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) white-sky surface albedos are compared with similar products generated on the basis of the Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) surface bidirectional reflectance ...
Coupling Diffuse Sky Radiation and Surface Albedo
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New satellite instruments have been delivering a wealth of information regarding land surface albedo. This basic quantity describes what fraction of solar radiation is reflected from the earth?s surface. However, its concept ...
Lessons Learned from IPCC AR4: Scientific Developments Needed to Understand, Predict, and Respond to Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that global warming is ?unequivocal? and that most of the observed increase since the mid-twentieth century is very likely ...
