Influence of the atmosphere on remotely sensed dataFactors which influence the effects of the atmosphere on the data of remote sensing are examined. A radiative-transfer model is considered and effects of varied optical thickness of the atmosphere are investigated. Effects of varied surface albedo are discussed along with the effects of the sun angle, the effects of the scan angle, and questions regarding the atmospheric effects on the recognition performance. It is found that a multiplicative factor involving the sun angle alone is not sufficient for the correction of space data.
