Abstract

This work is aimed at the development of the snow albedo product for the SGLI/GCOM-C JAXA space mission. The retrieval technique is based on the analytical solution of the radiative transfer equation valid at small values of probability of light absorption in snowpack, which is valid assumption in the visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
