Abstract :
A method is presented to allow for operational atmospheric correction of AVHRR channels 1 and 2 data. The method is based on radiative transfer calculations and subsequent application of artificial neural network techniques. The method is applied to derive atmospherically corrected NDVI maps of the river Elbe catchment area in Central Europe
