The TOA reflectance model based on Pseudo-Invariant Calibration Sites (PICS) can directly calculate the apparent radiance of a satellite sensor without ground measurement, thus providing an effective technical approach for high-frequency, in-orbit radiometric calibration and long-term satellite performance monitoring. However, due to the strict requirements in spatial uniformity, time stability, and atmospheric conditions, existing PICS calibration sites are all distributed abroad, and meeting the calibration requirements of Chinese land satellites, which are mostly for imaging in China, is difficult. Using the radiometric calibration idea of PICS, this study investigated the construction model of Top of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance for inland surface stable targets with relaxed sites and atmospheric stability constraints. With the stable target of Golmud Desert in the northwest region as an example, the constraints were relaxed as follows: site area greater than 3 km × 3 km, cloud coverage less than 60%, spatial uniformity less than 3%, and temporal stability less than 10% (11 years). Then, Aqua/MODIS and European Center for Medium-range Weather Forecasting reanalysis data of 11 years were used to analyze the regularity of the observed geometry and atmospheric parameters in TOA reflectance, and the scattering angle defined in the surface/atmospheric radiation transmission model was introduced to further characterize the multiple scattering contribution between the surface and atmosphere in the TOA reflectance model. Afterward, a TOA reflectance model suitable for inland stable targets was proposed. The averaged bias and root mean square error of the model were less than 0.10% and 0.0084, respectively. In addition, the TOA reflectance directly observed by Sentinel-2A/B MSI and Landsat 8 OLI were compared with the TOA reflectance calculated by the proposed model. The average relative error between the TOA reflectance calculated by the model and the observations of Sentinel-2A/B MSI was less than 1.44%, and the standard deviation of the relative error did not exceed 1.59%. The average relative error with Landsat 8 OLI observations was less than 1.77%, and the standard deviation of the relative error did not exceed 2.11%. The validation results showed that the calculated TOA reflectance values of the proposed model had high consistency and stability with the satellite observations. Thus, the model can be applied to the on-orbit radiometric calibration and long-term radiation characteristic monitoring of other satellite payloads in the solar reflection spectrum.
