The identification algorithm is straight-forwardly extendible to other surface types. Provides surface reflectance characteristics, i.e., bidirectional reflectance and albedo. Forms important basis for remote sensing of atmospheric constituents and atmospheric correction of optical remote sensing imagery. Aerosol column optical depth is a biproduct. The dark areas are forest, grey means non-forested land and white signifies water bodies.
North is upwards.
The map projection is different from the above.
