Radiative Transfer and Surface Property Modelling

Plots of the analysis of the results of AIRS RT comparisons

Figure 1. The mean difference from RFM the reference RT model for the 49 diverse profiles for all AIRS channels. The top panel  is for the fast models and the bottom panel  for the line-by-line models.

Fast RT models mean bias against RFM
