An explanation for the effect of clouds over snow on the topofatmosphere bidirectional reflectance
[1] It has been a long-standing puzzle why clouds, which should interact with solar radiation similarly to a thin layer of snow, have such a dramatic effect on the reflectance observed by satellites over snow-covered regions. The presence of a cloud over the snow strongly enhances the anisotropy of the scene, so that a cloud-over-snow scene appears darker than clear sky over snow when observed ...
متن کاملEmpirical anisotropic spectral reflectance model for snow derived from
Modeling the anisotropic reflectance of snow will be important for various applications, like climatology, meteorology and water management. Accurate climatic and meteorological modeling of energy balance needs to take the anisotropic effect into account. This is also the case for accurate snow-cover mapping for water management. This paper describes the development of an empirical model for th...
متن کاملA solar reflectance method for retrieving the optical thickness and droplet size of liquid water clouds over snow and ice surfaces
Cloud optical thickness and droplet effective radius retrievals from solar reflectance measurements are traditionally implemented using a combination of spectral channels that are absorbing and nonabsorbing for water particles. Reflectances in nonabsorbing channels (e.g., 0.67, 0.86, 1.2 mm spectral window bands) are largely dependent on cloud optical thickness, while longer-wavelength absorbin...
متن کاملAnimating Sand, Mud, and Snow
Computer animations often lack the subtle environmental changes that should occur due to the actions of the characters. Squealing car tires usually leave no skid marks, airplanes rarely leave jet trails in the sky, and most runners leave no footprints. In this paper, we describe a simulation model of ground surfaces that can be deformed by the impact of rigid body models of animated characters....
متن کاملSnow white
The electrocardiogram of the question shows prolonged QRS and QTc segments. These symptoms can be seen in several types of intoxication, including poisoning by sodium-channel blockers such as tricyclic antidepressants and cocaine, but not in opioid intoxications. Therefore, a combined intoxication could be assumed. However, the most prominent abnormality in this electrocardiogram is the presenc...
