The 6S code is a
basic RT code used for calculation of lookup tables in the MODIS
atmospheric correction algorithm. It enables accurate simulations of
satellite and plane observation, accounting for elevated targets, use of
anisotropic and lambertian surfaces and calculation of gaseous
absorption. The code is based on the method of successive orders of
scatterings approximations and its first vector version (6SV1), capable
of accounting for radiation polarization. It was publicly released in May,
2005.
