Deep Learning-Based Emulation of Radiative Transfer Models for Top-of-Atmosphere BRDF Modelling Using Sentinel-3 OLCI

The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) defines the anisotropy of surface reflectance and plays a fundamental role in many remote sensing applications.This study proposes a new machine learning-based model for characterizing the BRDF.The model integrates the capability of Radiative Transfer Models (RTMs) to generate simulated rem
