Evaluation Of Atmospheric Effect On Remotely Sensed Data Based On Measurement Of Spectral Radiance

Atmospheric parameters were evaluated from the measurement of the upward surface radiance and the downward solar radiance above the surface in water area. The atmospheric transmittance and the path radiance were estimated by regression analysis between a set of radiance data which are the radiance detected by a remote sensor and the upward radiance simultaneously measured at the surface. Also the transmittance was estimated from the direct solar beam radiance measured at the surface by asuming the extraterrestrial solar radiance.
