Title
Angular and seasonal variation of spectral surface reflectance ratios: implications for the remote sensing of aerosol over land
Abstract
We obtain valuable information on the angular and seasonal variability of surface reflectance using a hand-held spectrometer from a light aircraft. The data is used to test a procedure that allows us to estimate visible surface reflectance from the longer wavelength 2.1 /spl mu/m channel (mid-IR). Estimating or avoiding surface reflectance in the visible is a vital first step in most algorithms th...
