Implications of mountain shading on calculating energy for snowmelt using unstructured triangular meshes
In many parts of the world, snowmelt energetics is dominated by solar irradiance. This is
particularly the case in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, where clear skies dominate the …

Multipixel retrieval of structural and optical parameters in a 2-D scene with a path-recycling Monte Carlo forward model and a new Bayesian inference engine
Physics-based retrievals of atmosphere and/or surface properties are generally multi-or
hyperspectral in nature; some use multi-angle information as well. Recently, polarization has …
