Initial Validation of MODIS Albedo Product by Using Field Measurements and Airborne Multiangular Remote Sensing Observations
With the launch of NASA’s Terra satellite and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)
operational Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and albedo products are now providing new opportunity to scientific community.The MODIS BRDF/Albedo algorithm makes use of a semiempirical kernel-driven bi-directional reflectance model to lnverse the albedo by multiangle remote sensing data acquired within 16 days. These products include directional hemispherical albedo (black-sky albedo)
bihemispherical albedo (white-sky albedo)
Nadir BRDF-Adjusted surface Reflectance (NBAR)
model parameters describing the BRDF
and extensive quality assurance information. There has been some validation result for this work
but further validation based on field measurement is also needed to widen application.This work aim to compare the albedo acquired by albedo meter in meteorological station and inverted by field measurement and air-borne MAR data using Kernel-driven model with that of MODIS.The initial validation result is also given in this paper.
