Abstract:

In this paper the model of radiative transfer in the atmosphere above the non-Lambertian Earth's surface with an inhomogeneous albedo is considered. The algorithms for calculating a brightness field are presented under different assumptions on properties of surface reflectivity. The corresponding solution of the inverse problem which consists in determination of surface albedo from an optical space image with the known anisotropic reflectivity factor has been obtained.
