摘要
This letter presents the improvements of an absolute calibration reference system based on simulated top-of-atmosphere bidirectional reflectance factor time series over bright desert targets. The current work highlights a case study performed over Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) calibration target Libya4, demonstrating that it is possible to achieve a mean accuracy of 3% when simulation is compared with calibrated observations acquired by polar orbiting satellites.
