TI  - Intercomparison of two BRDF models in the estimation of the directional 
      emissivity in MIR channel from MSG1-SEVIRI data.
PG  - 19310-21
AB  - This work intercompared two Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function 
      (BRDF) models, the modified Minnaert's model and the RossThick-LiSparse-R model, 
      in the estimation of the directional emissivity in Middle Infra-Red (MIR) channel 
      from the data acquired by the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infra-Red Imager 
      (SEVIRI) onboard the first Meteosat Second Generation (MSG1). The bi-directional 
      reflectances in SEVIRI channel 4 (3.9 microm) were estimated from the combined 
      MIR and Thermal Infra-Red (TIR) data and then were used to estimate the 
      directional emissivity in this channel with aid of the BRDF models. The results 
      show that: (1) Both models can relatively well describe the non-Lambertian 
      reflective behavior of land surfaces in SEVIRI channel 4; (2) The 
      RossThick-LiSparse-R model is better than the modified Minnaert's model in 
      modeling the bi-directional reflectances, and the directional emissivities 
      modeled by the modified Minnaert's model are always lower than the ones obtained 
      by the RossThick-LiSparse-R model with averaged emissivity differences of 
      approximately 0.01 and approximately 0.04 over the vegetated and bare areas, 
      respectively. The use of the RossThick-LiSparse-R model in the estimation of the 
      directional emissivity in MIR channel is recommended.
