Hybrid Geometric Optical–Radiative Transfer Model Suitable for Forests on Slopes
Abstract
A new geometric optical (GO)-radiative transfer (RT) model with a multiple scattering scheme suitable for sloping forest canopies is developed in this study. It is based on a Geometrical-Optical model for Sloping Terrains and an RT method. This new model overcomes the difficulty to prescribe bidirectional reflectance factors (BRFs) of shaded components (shaded foliage and background) in GO modeling through simulating radiation multiple …
