Effects of the Inherent Optical Properties on Remotely Sensed Reflectance
نویسنده
چکیده
This work includes using two-flow and full radiative transfer models to evaluate the conditions under which subsurface optical structure is detectable, and to develop an inversion model to determine the vertical structure of the IOP based on the presence of horizontal gradients in the spectral reflectance. We are also examining the role of the volume scattering function in determining the measured reflectance.

Remotely sensed reflectance and its dependence on vertical structure: a theoretical derivation.
An exact expression for the remotely sensed reflectance (RSR, upwelling radiance divided by downwelling scalar irradiance) just beneath the surface of the ocean is derived from the equation of radiative transfer. It is shown that the RSR at a given depth in the ocean depends only on the inherent optical properties, the attenuation coefficient for upwelling radiance, and two shape factors that d...

متن کاملSpatiotemporal Estimation of PM2.5 Concentration Using Remotely Sensed Data, Machine Learning, and Optimization Algorithms
PM 2.5 (particles <2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter) can be measured by ground station data in urban areas, but the number of these stations and their geographical coverage is limited. Therefore, these data are not adequate for calculating concentrations of Pm2.5 over a large urban area. This study aims to use Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) satellite images and meteorological data from 2014 to 2017 ...
متن کاملContinued Development of the Look-up-table (LUT) Methodology for Interpretation of Remotely Sensed Ocean Color Data
My colleagues and I are developing and evaluating a new technique for the extraction of environmental information including water-column inherent optical properties (IOPs) and shallowwater bathymetry and bottom classification from remotely-sensed hyperspectral ocean-color spectra. We address the need for rapid, automated interpretation of hyperspectral imagery. The research issues center on dev...
