Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) albedo retrieval algorithm : Dependence of albedo on solar zenith angle
Jicheng Liu,Crystal B. Schaaf,Alan H. Strahler,Ziti Jiao,Yanmin Shuai,Qingling Zhang,Miguel O. Román,John A. Augustine,Ellsworth G. Dutton +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the ability of the MODIS albedo product to represent albedos at all diurnal solar zenith angles through a comparison with field measurements from the Surface Radiation Budget Network (SURFRAD) and the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Southern Great Plains (ARM/SGP) stations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method for improving hotspot directional signatures in BRDF models used for MODIS
Ziti Jiao,Crystal B. Schaaf,Yadong Dong,Miguel O. Román,Michael J. Hill,Jing M. Chen,Zhuosen Wang,Hu Zhang,E. Saenz,R. Poudyal,Charles K. Gatebe,François-Marie Bréon,Xiaowen Li,Alan H. Strahler +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method was developed for improving the ability of the RTLSR model to simulate the magnitude and width of the hotspot effect by using an exponential approximation of a physical hotspot kernel.
Journal ArticleDOI
An algorithm for the retrieval of the clumping index (CI) from the MODIS BRDF product using an adjusted version of the kernel-driven BRDF model
Ziti Jiao,Yadong Dong,Crystal B. Schaaf,Crystal B. Schaaf,Jing M. Chen,Miguel O. Román,Zhuosen Wang,Zhuosen Wang,Hu Zhang,Anxin Ding,Angela Erb,Michael J. Hill,Xiaoning Zhang,Alan H. Strahler +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a framework to retrieve CIs from MODIS bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) parameters, which are generally based on linear CI-NDHD equations.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Anisotropic Flat Index (AFX) to derive BRDF archetypes from MODIS
TL;DR: In this paper, the Anisotropic Flat Index (AFX) is proposed to summarize the variability of basic dome-bowl anisotropic reflectance patterns of the terrestrial surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality assessment of BRDF/albedo retrievals in MODIS operational system
Yanmin Shuai,Yanmin Shuai,Crystal B. Schaaf,Alan H. Strahler,Jicheng Liu,Ziti Jiao,Ziti Jiao +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the quality of the MODIS BRDF/albedo retrieval process through the use of the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Weight of Determination (WoD) measures are constructed during the inversion process to quantify the retrieval uncertainties.
