Abstract
BRFs of an artificial conifer canopy were observed and modelled using the MODIS BRDF/Albedo algorithm. Derived BRDF functions show a reasonable agreement with the BRF observed in the illumination plane. The algorithm shows the ability to provide a reasonable BRDF for illumination conditions not used in the function derivation, which are based entirely on in-plane BRF data
