Abstract
One purpose of vegetation canopy modelling is to predict the solar radiation reflection distribution produced by the canopy, in order to use it as an identifier in remote sensing. For remote sensing by satellite or aircraft the measured reflectance pattern also contains the signature of the atmosphere, which changes both the radiation distribution of the downwelling solar source before it reaches the canopy, as well as the reflected upwelling signal before it reaches the sensor.
