MOD3D: A model for incorporating MODTRAN radiative transfer into 3D simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
MOD3D, a rapid and accurate radiative transport algorithm, is being developed for application to 3D simulations. MOD3D couples to optical property databases generated by the MODTRAN4 Correlated-k (CK) band model algorithm. The Beer's Law dependence of the CK algorithm provides for proper coupling of illumination and line-of-sight paths. Full 3D spatial effects are modeled by scaling and interpolating optical data to local conditions. A C++ version of MOD3D has been integrated into JMASS for calculation of path transmittances, thermal emission and single scatter solar radiation. Results from initial validation efforts are presented.

Spectral Resolution Effects on Solar Irradiance Calculations
For this study, we compared the spectral and integrated irradiance computed by high-resolution and moderate-resolution radiative transfer models (FASE and MODTRAN). It was found that the spectral resolution of a top of the atmosphere solar irradiance, coupled with the spectral resolution of the model used to compute the atmospheric transmittance, can influence the calculation of integrated sola...
متن کاملModeling Top of Atmosphere Radiance over Heterogeneous Non-Lambertian Rugged Terrain
Topography affects the fraction of direct and diffuse radiation received on a pixel and changes the sun–target–sensor geometry, resulting in variations in the observed radiance. Retrieval of surface–atmosphere properties from top of atmosphere radiance may need to account for topographic effects. This study investigates how such effects can be taken into account for top of atmosphere radiance m...
متن کاملEstimating forest parameters from top of atmosphere multi-angular radiance data using coupled radiative transfer models
Traditionally, the estimation of forest parameters using physically-based canopy radiative transfer models (RT) requires correcting the remote sensing data to top-of-canopy (TOC) level by inverting an atmosphere RT model. By coupling the same canopy and atmosphere models, it is possible to simulate the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance and to work directly with the measured TOA radiance data, th...
متن کاملModo: an Interface to Modtran for the Simulation of Imaging Spectrometry At-sensor Signals
The radiative transfer code MODTRAN, version 4 (Berk et al., 1998; 2000) has been established as de-facto standard for the simulation of imaging spectrometry data and for quantitative modelling of the signal at the sensor level. The original interface of MODTRAN consisting of ASCII-file based inputs leads often to misunderstandings and mistakes in such analyses. Almost every frequent user of MO...
متن کاملAntitwilight II: Monte Carlo simulations.
For this paper, we employ the Monte Carlo scene (MCScene) radiative transfer code to elucidate the underlying physics giving rise to the structure and colors of the antitwilight, i.e., twilight opposite the Sun. MCScene calculations successfully reproduce colors and spatial features observed in videos and still photos of the antitwilight taken under clear, aerosol-free sky conditions. Through s...
