The application of the radiative transfer theory to the information content modelling connected with the interpretation of a multispectral satellite environment data

The information content of the optical atmospheric data retrieved, making use of multispectral satellite measurements in the visible and near infrared spectral regions, is modelled by direct and inverse radiative models based on a unified mathematical description. The semantic kernel of such an approach consists in the unifying the mathematical modelling that contains from one side the direct-inverse operator and the inputs optical models of the atmosphere-surface system. The appropriate numerical results for forward input optical and direct radiative models are discussed
