This paper presents a tool created for simulating the expected radiance from oceanic geophysical parameters through the atmosphere as perceived by a hyperspectral remote sensing satellite. The effects of varying off-nadir viewing angles, solar zenith angles and the presence of water clouds on the resulting radiance has been analyzed, and simulated top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance values coincide well with experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
