A Numerical Study of the Sensitivity of Cloudy-Scene Bidirectional Reflectivity Distribution Functions to Variations in Cloud Parameters

The goal of this research has been to characterize the sensitivity of the earth's shortwave bidirectional reflectivity distribution function (BRDF) to variations in cloud parameters. The BRDF is a remote sensing tool used to predict the flux reflected from a given earth scene...
