Lobs= τ B(T) + Lu
▪ Lobs: Observed, at-aperture radiance
▪ τ: Transmission of the atmosphere
▪ B(T): Spectral radiance from Planck function
▪ Lu: Upwelling radiance due to the atmosphere
• Lobs= τ B(T) + Lu
Plot for each band: Lobs vs. B(T)
▪ τ (slope) and Lu(intercept) are estimated
▪ τ and Lu are used to estimate the ground leaving radiance from at-
sensor radiance for each pixel
