ftran_coco_iso

Collided by canopy only transmission at lower boundary level for diffuse illumination only


This is the fraction of the incident isotropic diffuse radiation - passing through a planar reference surface of specified lateral dimension and elevation above the target, and oriented perpendicular to the underlying surface normal - that is intercepted by the canopy and scattered downward to the level of the background at z = ∼ 0. Radiation that is reflected back up from background surface before being intercepted by the canopy and scattered back down to the background again is thus counted only once (this is known as a black soil scenario). ftran_coco_iso does not include contributions from direct illumination sources (should they be prescribed in the illumination conditions of a given RAMI experiment).

ftran_coco_iso = transmission due to isotropically diffuse incident radiation that has one or more scattering interactions with the canopy only
