内容記述 | A comparison of bidirectional reflectance models developed by radiative transfer theory calculations with empirical models developed from Nimbus 7 Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) measurements indicates good overall comparison, with rms differences of about 10 percent for solar zenith angles lower than 60 deg. The results of these comparisons demonstrate that the theoretical model provides a good description of the reflected radiance fields of clouds as seen by satellite. A cloud model based on Geosynchronous Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) data was also compared with the Nimbus 7 general cloud model, and it is found that bidirectional models which compare well with the Nimbus 7 ERB results can be reproduced using GOES data. |
