Global Mapping of Bidirectional Reflectance and Albedo for the EOS MODIS Project:The Algorithm and the Product

摘要

The MODIS BRDF/Albedo Product will provide multi-band BRDF parameters and albedomeasures at 1-km resolution globally every 16 days, utilizing both MODIS and MISR data. The BRDF models to be used are kernal driven semi-empirical models based mostly on Ross and Li kernels. These are capable of fitting directional data observed for different land cover types by Kimes as well.
