    Hello, I'm using flaash tool for my hyperspectral data (CASI image with 48 bands, spectral range from 380-1050 nm). I setted up all according to manual. Overall result is ok, only all watter bodies and some shadow places have 0 reflectance in whole spectral range. I expect such result in infrared region but not in the visible portion. Should it be like this or i missed some setting or doing something wrong? I went through setting steps several times. Try to change atmosphere models (for my data they are MLS or SAS). I'm using water retrieval option, water absorption feature 940 nm. Aerosol model - Rural (forest and urban area). Aerosol retrieval - None. Initial visibility 40 km. Spectral polishing - No and Wavelength recalibration - No. For Advanced Settings i'm using default settings, only azimuth angle i always set opposed to aircraft heading ( azimuth angle 160º if aircraft heading was 340º). Output reflectance scale factor 10000. Cheers, Jevgenijs

    FLAASH isn't really designed to retrieve reflectance over water bodies. Water, even in the visible region, is often very dark (low radiance) unless the water is clear and shallow. If the radiance is very low in these areas in your image than the returned modeled reflectance can be very low or negative. You can increase the initial visibility value in Aerosol Retrieval to something like 80-100km which can help boost the visible band response over water but remember, the output is scaled by 10000. So if the water is slightly negative and after adjusting the visibility is slightly positive, it may still be an insignificant amount of reflectance coming off dark water.
