Two-stream computations of water body reflectances
Main Article Content
Abstract
A two-stream approximaüon is applied to the radiactive transfer equation in order to compute the upward and downward intensiües and the water-body reflectance. The results of the method are compared with previous ones and a pracücal application is presented.
