Validation of MISR Bidirectional Reflectance over Southern Africa during SAFARI 2000
January 11, 2006
MISR observations of surface bidirectional reflectance over Sua Pan, Botswana, were intercompared with Goddard's airborne Cloud Absorption Radiometer and ground-based PARABOLA instruments during SAFARI 2000. This enabled the validation of the aerosol retrieval and subsequent atmospheric correction of MISR data over two different surface types in southern Africa. Full Story
