Extended Data Figure 8: Simulated surface reflectance values in the MODIS red (RED; a), near-infrared (NIR; b) and blue (BLU; c) bands using the 6S radiative transfer code for 25% overestimation or 25% underestimation of AOT.
From: Widespread decline of Congo rainforest greenness in the past decade
There are 30 cases (cases 1–10 correspond to a small AOT load, AOT = 0.1; cases 11–20 correspond to a medium AOT load, AOT = 0.3; cases 21–30 correspond to a large AOT load, AOT = 0.5) and the actual reflectance is 0.03, 0.3 and 0.02 in RED, NIR and BLU, respectively (see details in Supplementary Table 1).
