Atmospheric and Surface Contributions to Planetary Albedo
The planetary albedo is partitioned into a component due to atmospheric reflection and a component due to surface reflection by using shortwave fluxes at the surface and top of the atmosphere in conjunction with a simple radiation model. The vast majority of the observed global average planetary albedo (88%) is due to atmospheric reflection. Surface reflection makes a relatively small contribut...
متن کاملEstimating Land Surface Albedo from Satellite Data
Title: ESTIMATING LAND SURFACE ALBEDO FROM SATELLITE DATA Tao He, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed by: Dr. Shunlin Liang, Professor Department of Geographical Sciences Land surface albedo, defined as the ratio of the surface reflected incoming and outgoing solar radiation, is one of the key geophysical variables controlling the surface radiation budget. Surface shortwave albedo is widely use...
متن کاملRetrieval of Land Surface Reflectance and Albedo from Meris Data
An atmospheric correction algorithm for the retrieval of land surface reflectance from the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) data has been implemented. The algorithm is designed to obtain the main atmospheric parameters needed in the correction from the image itself, leading to an optimal characterization of the atmospheric state, in temporal and spatial resolution terms. The first...
متن کاملSurface Contribution to Planetary Albedo Variability in Cryosphere Regions
Climatological planetary albedo obtained from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) D-series flux dataset is broken down into contributions from the surface and atmosphere in cryosphere regions. The atmosphere accounts for much more of climatological planetary albedo ( 75%) than the surface at all times of the year. The insignificance of the surface contribution over hig...
متن کاملCombining Gradient and Albedo Data for Rotation Invariant Classification of 3D Surface Texture
We present a new texture classification scheme which is invariant to surface-rotation. Many texture classification approaches have been presented in the past that are image-rotation invariant, However, image rotation is not necessarily the same as surface rotation. We have therefore developed a classifier that uses invariants that are derived from surface properties rather than image properties...
