6S is a
basic RT code used for calculation of look-up tables in the
MODIS
atmospheric correction algorithm. It enables accurate simulations of
satellite and plane observations, accounting for elevated targets,
modeling of realistic molecular, aerosol, or mixed atmospheres, use of
Lambertian and anisotropic ground surfaces, and calculation of gaseous
absorption. Its first vector version (6SV1.0B), capable
of accounting for radiation polarization, was publicly released in May,
2005. In addition to the code, we also provide a special 6S interface
which can help an inexperienced user learn how to use the code and
build necessary input files.
