Combining image derived spectra and physics based models for hyperspectral image exploitation
TL;DR: A conceptual approach for merging data into a common framework to allow simultaneous exploitation of these multiparameter data sets and how more involved 3D physics-based synthetic image models may hold a key to image exploitation algorithms are discussed.

An empirical model for estimating the atmospheric transmittance of upward infrared radiation at different altitudes
TL;DR: In this article, the upward infrared (IR) radiation is one of the most important factors that affect the thermal characteristics of light-than-air (LTA) vehicles, and therefore, it is necessary to propose an accurate model to evaluate the upward atmospheric transmittance.

The impact of moderately absorbing aerosol on surface sensible, latent, and net radiative fluxes during the summer of 2015 in Central Europe
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of moderately absorbing aerosols on the energy budget over Central Europe is discussed, based on experimental observations and numerical simulations obtained for the summer of 2015, especially in August, are mostly attributed to transport of biomass burning (BB) from Eastern Europe.

Spectral signs of aeolian activity around a sand-dune belt in northern Algeria
Mohamed Hassani,Djouher Saadoud,Moulley Charaf Chabou,Francisco Martín-Peinado,M. Sánchez-Marañón +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors look for signs of aeolian activity in the colors of a sand-dune belt in northern Algeria, showing that the reddish sand partially loses its Fe-oxide coatings by mechanical abrasion in the entrainment and reductive dissolution in the sabkhas during waterlogging, becoming yellowish.

A New Pseudoinvariant Near-Infrared Threshold Method for Relative Radiometric Correction of Aerial Imagery
TL;DR: A new relative radiometric correction method to retrieve 1 m surface reflectance from NAIP imagery is developed that lies in the adaptive identification of pseudoinvariant (PIV) pixels from a time series of Landsat images that can fully characterize the temporally spectral variations of land surface.

Numerically stable algorithm for discrete-ordinate-method radiative transfer in multiple scattering and emitting layered media.
TL;DR: An advanced, thoroughly documented, and quite general purpose discrete ordinate algorithm for time-independent transfer calculations in vertically inhomogeneous, nonisothermal, plane-parallel media for Atmospheric applications ranging from the UV to the radar region of the electromagnetic spectrum is summarized.

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.
