radcalnet-oc documentation#

radcalnet_oc models the radiative transfer through the atmosphere to propagate the water-leaving radiance measured at the surface, typically by AERONET-OC stations, up to the top-of-atmosphere level. The simulated top-of-atmosphere reflectance is used for the calibration and validation (Cal/Val) of passive optical satellite sensors above coastal and oceanic waters.

\[R_{toa}(\lambda) = T_g^{\downarrow} T_g^{\uparrow} \left[ \pi\, R_{rs}(\lambda)\, T^{\downarrow}(\lambda)\, t^{\uparrow}(\lambda) + R_{atm}(\lambda) \right]\]
