    Hi, I would ask you some suggestions about FLAASH module. I'm trying to make atmospheric correction on Landsat images; I know I'm making some mistake, because the FLAASH corrected image has about 60% negative pixels. I think the problem is in the visibility value: I put 10 km (according to meteo data archive), but in the ENVI Help I find that values less than 15 km mean a thick haze weather condition. So the question is: for FLAASH, visibility is related ti weather conditions or to the effective visibility? (I'm working on plain images, so visibility is low even in a clear day). Thanks! Rossella

    Visibility is not related to the weather (cloudiness) but rather how clear the atmosphere is from particulates such as dust, pollutants, fog, salt and such. If there is little haze in your scene, you can set the visibility to upwards of 100km which should improve results for your blue and green bands which are often the bands that return negative reflectivity. You might also set the 2-band K-T to use the Over-water conditions which often provide better results in areas of higher humidity or water. There may still be negative values in some pixels after these changes. They are not uncommon over areas of water or shadow. These areas typically have low radiance and do not model well and should be masked for further analysis.
