“…Nevertheless, as mentioned before, MAPE, RMSE and MBE have substantially decreased after cross-calibration, meaning that the FASat-C radiances and reflectances are in good agreement with the RapidEye values. However, additional improvements in the cross-calibration method could be accomplished either by increasing the number of SNO's, when available [19,20,32], or by fitting a BRDF model to the observations of the calibration site [52,53,56]. A refinement of the SBAF retrieval scheme could also provide important advances, particularly if (1) higher spectral resolution data and TOA simulations based on in situ measurements and (2) radiative transfer modeling [21,56,61] are applied.…”
