    Hi, everyone, I use Flaash to do atmospheric correction for MODIS. Now i have a question: the output of flaash is reflectance with unitless. This reflectance is irrandiance(up) over irradiance(down), right? Thanks in advance. Lijian

    The FLAASH reflectance is actually a scaled radiance reflectance that equals the irradiance reflectance in the case of a Lambertian surface. It can be thought of as an "apparent" irradiance reflectance derived from the observed upwelling radiance. This definition is standard in atmospheric correction codes for HSI/MSI imagery (e.g., ATREM, ACORN, ATCOR, HATCH in addition to FLAASH). -mm
