MODIS solar reflective calibration traceability [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2009 Long-term climate data records often consist of observations made by multiple sensors. It is, therefore, extremely important to have instrument overlap, to be able to track instrument stability, to quantify, measurement uncertainties, and to establish absolute scale traceable to the International System of Units (SI).

Investigation and review of mirrors reflectance in parabolic trough solar collectors (PTSCs)
Energy Reports, 2019 As mirrors used in concentrating solar systems influence the thermal efficiency of the systems collectors to a large extent, the reflectance of mirrors plays a critical role in the thermal efficiency of parabolic trough solar collectors.

Choice of Solar Spectral Irradiance Model for Current and Future Remote Sensing Satellite Missions
Remote Sensing, 2023 The accuracy of surface reflectance estimation for satellite sensors using radiance-based calibrations can depend significantly on the choice of solar spectral irradiance (or solar spectrum) model used for atmospheric correction.

Journal of the Society of Materials Science, Japan, 2009 It is considered that the heat island phenomenon is generated by temperature rise due to heat release from urban structures which have a high heat absorptance and are warmed by solar radiation during the daytime. Applying solar heat high reflectance paint to the exterior surfaces of urban structures would suppress the increase in temperature, and make ...

Seasonal Profiles of Polarized Reflectance and Leaf Inclination Distribution of Wheat Canopies
Plant Production Science, 2004 Reflectance and polarized reflectance in the visible red band were measured for wheat canopies in a wide range of solar zenith angles to explore the relations among reflectance and polarization, view and illumination geometry, and crop canopy development.
