Abstract
The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) images were studied using a radiative transfer model and was also used to examine the effects of cloud micro- and macrophysical properties, surface albedo and Sun. These images revealed that the transition albedo varies dramatically with cloud optical depth and solar zenith angle. The MISR instrument has nine cameras, one that has a zenith angle of zero and pairs of cameras that analyze forward-scattered and back-scattered radiation at zenith angles of ±26.1°, ±45.6° and ±70.5°. The images also revealed that clouds are brighter than the surface when viewed from the forward-scattered direction.
