Retrieved snow BRF at 0.47  m for Flight 2001a, and accuracy of Li Sparse – Ross Thick (LSRT) (  -  LSRT ), Modified Rahman-Pinty-Verstraete (MRPV) and function R 0 (RT solution of Milne’s problem with zero absorption and fractal scatters) of Approximate Analytical Radiative Transfer (AART) models. Snow reflectance exhibits a broad forward scattering peak and a small backscattering peak. The best fit LSRT model underestimates reflectance in the backscattering directions near principal plane, whereas MRPV model underestimates reflectance at forward scattering angles. The plane-parallel RT solution R 0 overestimates anisotropy of snow with error which is symmetric relative to cross-plane. Our current work shows that with averaging over slope distribution, this error will be largely reduced.

Coddington et al., JGR, 2008 Example from MILAGRO data (2006) MODIS/SSFR/Ground truth  Need to consider structure (variability) and correct for various error sources to connect satellite, aircraft, and ground truth. One possibility is to go through a statistical field generator (Venema, 2006) that can help connect scales. How to proceed with surface albedo?
