Phase: RAMI 3
A two-layer Canopy Reflectance Model for the calculation of the radiative transfer within vegetation canopies. It is based on the homogeneous multispectral model MSRM (Kuusk, 1994) and the SAIL model, which models the diffuse radiative transfer. The ACRM model accounts for non-lambertian soil reflectance, specular reflection of direct sun rays on leaves, the hot spot effect, a two-parameter leaf angle distribution and the spectral effect of cultivation rows.
