Atmospheric correction

Atmospheric correction

The correction made to remotely sensed radiance (external link) to reduce or normalise for the intervening atmosphere (external link) between the Earth's surface and the satellite. The product of an atmospheric correction is the conversion of at-satellite spectral radiance to the innate reflectance or bidirectional reflectance of the surface. Also see radiometric reflective band calibration and reflectance.
