Ai. Lyapustin et Vv. Badaev, ANALYTICAL MODEL OF ATMOSPHERIC TRANSMITTANCE ANGULAR-DEPENDENCE, Earth observation and remote sensing, 12(1), 1995, pp. 46-53
The problem of phase function determination in the retrieval of atmosp
heric optical parameters from multiangular satellite measurements is d
iscussed. Analytical model of atmospheric transmittance angular depend
ence is developed with accuracy better than 0.2-0.3% in the range of z
enith angles 0 less than or equal to 45-50 degrees while optical thick
ness tau 1.
