Impact of the near-field effects on radiative transfer simulations of the bidirectional reflectance factor and albedo of a densely packed snow layer
2020, Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative TransferOn snowpack heating by solar radiation: A computational model
2019, Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative TransferCitation Excerpt :This possibility is used in the present paper. The computational models which can be employed in calculations of the electromagnetic radiation propagation in a snowpack can be classified into two categories, i.e., models based on radiative transfer theory (see, e.g., [48,49]) and models based on direct ray-tracing techniques [50–52]. A discussion of these approaches including the model based on two coupled volume-averaged radiative transfer equations [53–57] as applied to radiative transfer in snowpack can be found in [58].
Modeling polarized solar radiation from a snow surface for correction of polarization-induced error in satellite data
2019, Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative TransferCitation Excerpt :Based on limited measurements from ground and space (e.g. [34–37]), modeling studies for the reflected intensity of solar radiation from snow surfaces have been conducted [36] and applied to the retrieval of snow physical properties [38–40]. The polarization state of solar radiation reflected by snow surfaces has been characterized by only a few measurements and modeling efforts [32,41–44]. These models [42,44] are reasonably accurate for calculation of the polarization of reflected light from snow surfaces in visible channels, since light reflected by particulate snow surfaces generally has a DOP of smaller than 0.1 at these wavelengths.
Investigation of snow single scattering properties based on first order Legendre phase function
2017, Optics and Lasers in EngineeringCitation Excerpt :The BRDF describes a surface reflectance as a function of illumination and viewing angles apart from the wavelength. The corresponding retrieval models for single and/or multiple scattering are mostly based on ray tracing (e.g., Monte Carlo method) [3–5] or the discretisation of a standard variation of the radiative transfer equation (e.g., discrete-ordinates method, DISORT) [6–8]. Solutions to the radiative transfer in snow based on the DISORT method involve estimating a scattering phase function, which describes the angular distribution of scattered radiation from a given medium at a given wavelength [9,10].
The case for a modern multiwavelength, polarization-sensitive LIDAR in orbit around Mars
2015, Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative TransferCharacterisation of the HDRF (as a proxy for BRDF) of snow surfaces at Dome C, Antarctica, for the inter-calibration and inter-comparison of satellite optical data
2015, Remote Sensing of EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Snow BRDF has been measured at several localities using different techniques (e.g. Aoki & Fukabori, 2000; Hudson, Warren, Brandt, Grenfell, & Six, 2006; Painter & Dozier, 2004; Peltoniemi et al., 2005; Warren et al., 1998). BRDF of snow was additionally determined under laboratory conditions (Dumont et al., 2010) and through modelling (e.g. Dozier et al., 1988; Leroux, Lenoble, Brogniez, Hovenier, & De Haan, 1999). Dome C, Antarctica (75°S, 123°E) was suggested as an excellent ground-calibration site for measurement of the BRDF (Six, Fily, Alvain, Henry, & Benoist, 2004) as the surface is relatively flat (Rémy et al., 1999) and spatially homogeneous, with weak surface roughness owing to wind effects (Gallet, Domine, Arnaud, Picard, & Savarino, 2011), leading to the formation of sastrugi less than 10–20 cm (Petit, Jouzel, Pourchet, & Merlivat, 1982).
