An atmospheric correction algorithm for the retrieval of land surface reflectance from imagery acquired by the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) on-board the European Space Agency (ESA) ENVIronmental SATellite (ENVISAT) platform has been implemented. The algorithm is designed to estimat...
