phi
Φ𝑒𝑒𝑡𝑡 = radiant flux transmitted by material
Φ𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑖 = radiant flux received by material
e = mathematical constant ~2.71828
tau 𝜏𝜏 = optical depth
A = absorbance
GEO424 – Advanced Remote Sensing
Radiative Transfer Modeling
As ERM moves through different media
(stuff) it attenuates.
The Beer-Lambert Law (aka Beer’s Law)
describes light attenuation through materials.
Φ𝑒𝑒𝑡𝑡
𝑇𝑇 = = 𝑒𝑒 −𝜏𝜏 = 10−𝐴𝐴
Φ𝑒𝑒𝑖𝑖
Some is absorbed by
the rock, depending on
its chemical properties

Vertical Horizontal
(ex: Eucalyptus) (ex: Strawberry)
Clumped
(ex: Pine)
Leaf angle and
Random clumping factor
(ex: Maple) are separate
things (ex: can
have vertical
leaves that are
clumped)
