A Comparison of Atmospheric Models MODTRAN and 6S Based on Top of Atmosphere Reflectances of Natural Targets as Applied to Selected Mid-resolution Sensors
… (6S) and MODerate resolution TRANsmission (MODTRAN). In the study presented here 6Sv4.1 and MODTRAN 5 are compared through predicted TOA reflectances for sets of inputs as nearly identical to one another as possible. This study included the use of true hyperspectral ground data for a …

A Radiative Analysis of Angular Signatures and Oblique Radiance Retrievals Over the Polar Regions From the Multi-Angle Imaging Spectroradiometer
… MODerate Resolution atmospheric TRANsmission (MODTRAN) radiative transfer model, this dissertation provides the first explanation of the conditions that lead to the brighter or darker appearance of clouds relative to the surface at nadir by introducing the transition albedo. The transition …

Novel Atmospheric Monitoring for the H.E.S.S. site and its Industrial Applications
… transmissometer have been checked by customised MODTRAN (MODerate resolution atmospheric TRANsmission) routines. This process revealed a malfunction of the LIDAR, whose raw data was independently treated to yield meaningful results. More importantly, the `Durham-designed' transmissometer, …

Real-Time Atmospheric compensation and surface temperature estimates from Satellite using Neural Networks
… like zenith angle, and radiances processed from MODTRAN. The result was a robust neural network that could be applied to multiple sites and weather scenarios without much error in the ground temperature outputs. With an RMSE of .90 (K) in comparison to surface temperatures, good correlations on a …

AN APPROACH TO ESTIMATE GLOBAL BIOMASS BURNING EMISSIONS OF ORGANIC AND BLACK CARBON FROM MODIS FIRE RADIATIVE POWER
… channels using a parametric model based on the MODTRAN radiative transfer model indicates a small bias in FRE estimates which was accounted for. Accuracy assessment shows that the FRE estimates are precise (R<super>2</super> = 0.85), but may be underestimated. Global estimates of FRE show that …
