Do not cut and paste from the internet or from other sources. Define all terms with their units. 1. The radiative transfer equation derivation that considered swarms of photons traveling in a direction, and which provided a mathematical "differential" form of what fundamental physical radiative transfer quantity? Circle one: (a) irradiance, (b) reflectance or (c) radiance. 2. The 2 flow equations of irradiance derived in class considered the irradiance as it changes with respect to water depth or the height within a plant canopy, or the height within the atmosphere and a function: (a) z - vertical distance, (b) a total backscatter coefficient and (c) a constituent specific absorption coefficient. Circle One: True or False. 3. Radar reflectance is calculated in concept as a function of the ratio of the outgoing microwave pulse multiplied by the returned microwave pulse energy. Circle One: True or False 4. What does a spectral response curve show (provide the definition) and abbreviation. 5. The most modern sea ice measurement satellites utilize what type of sensor? 6. Write the two-stream irradiance differential equations and define the terms and the units of each term for a water- column. 7. Draw a figure demonstrating the reflectance signature hinge or isosbestic point/general location for water. 8. Explain the reason/rational/scientific basis the above signatures have their unique shapes for different water types.
