An Algorithm for Retrieval of Surface Albedo From Small View-Angle Airborne Observations Through the Use of BRDF Archetypes as Prior Knowledge

Land surface albedo, qualifying the ratio of the radiant flux reflected from the land surface to the incident flux, is a key forcing parameter controlling the Earth's energy budget. Previously, several BRDF archetypes were distilled from high-quality MODIS BRDF/Albedo products. In this study, w...
