BRDF/Albedo Publications

Below are a few remote sensing examples of the application of BRDF model inversions to correct reflectances and derive albedo.

  • Combined Aqua and Terra Processing.
  • Global MODIS White-Sky (bihemispherical) Albedo and Nadir BRDF-Adjusted Reflectance (NBAR).
  • Global albedos based on magnitude inversions of monthly composited 1995 AVHRR data and archetypal BRDF parameters assigned according to land cover.
  • Albedo and BRDF information based on daily AVHRR and GOES data of New England from the late summer of 1995.
  • Albedos and BRDF-Adjusted NDVIs of the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment (LBA) in the Amazonia of Brazil.
And ... What on earth is a BRDF?
