Abstract
Presents validation of a method for estimation of forest bi-directional reflectance (BRDF) for an example of boreal forest. The method employs Monte Carlo solution of a hybrid geometric optical/radiative transfer model. The model output is compared with ground and airborne measurements of a mature jack pine site collected during BOREAS
