Validation of a New Parametric Model for Atmospheric Correction of Thermal Infrared Data
TL;DR: A thermal parametric model based upon the MODTRAN radiative transfer code and tuned to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) channels is presented and an investigation of profile sources and their effect on atmospheric correction offered insight into the application of theparametric model for operational correction of MODIS thermal bands.

Bandpass-resampling effects for the retrieval of surface emissivity.
Rudolf Richter,César Coll +1 more
TL;DR: This simulation study shows that relative emissivity retrieval errors can reach as much as 3% for broadband sensors (1-2-microm bandwidth) and 0.8% for narrowband instruments (0.15 microm), even for constant surfaceEmissivity, and that spectrally varying surface emissivities are most sensitive to retrieval errors.

TL;DR: The HITRAN molecular absorption database as mentioned in this paper contains line parameters for 31 species and their isotopomers that are significant for terrestrial atmospheric studies, including chlorofluorocarbons and other molecular species that are not amenable to line-by-line representation.

A description of the correlated k distribution method for modeling nongray gaseous absorption, thermal emission, and multiple scattering in vertically inhomogeneous atmospheres
Andrew A. Lacis,Valdar Oinas +1 more
TL;DR: A radiative transfer method for treating nongray gaseous absorption and thermal emission in vertically inhomogeneous multiple scattering atmospheres is described in this paper, where probability density distributions of absorption coefficient strength are derived from line-by-line calculations to construct line-By-line and band model based k distributions.
