Reflectance analysis of POLDER data in Mongolia Original Research Article

POLDER data obtained over land on June 13, 1997 is analyzed and reported in this paper. Aerosol optical parameters for desert area in Mongolia are estimated both from reflectance and polarization data at 443 nm. The POLDER image data is corrected into surface image data using the atmospheric correction scheme based on aerosol optical parameters. The BRDF parameters for land surfaces are estimated for the study region in Mongolia from the surface reflectance images at 443, 670 and 865 nm wave length.
