Surface bidirectional reflectance properties of two southwestern Arizona deserts for wavelengths between 0.4 and 2.2 micrometers

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