Surface Bidirectional Reflectance Properties of Two Southwestern Arizona Deserts for Wavelengths between 0.4and 2.2Micrometers.

摘要

Surface bidirectional reflectance characteristics are presented for the Sonora Desert and the Mohawk Valley at solar zenith angles of 13, 31, and 57 degs at wavelengths between 0.4 and 1.6 micrometers. Nadir reflectance values are presented for wavelengths between 0.4 and 2.2 micrometers for solar zenith angles of 13, 17.5, 27, 31, 45, 57, and 62 degs. Data were taken from a helicopter during May l985 in support of an Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), a Stratospheric Aerosol Gas Experiment (SAGE II), and an Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite validation experiment.
