absorption
[remote sensing] The amount of electromagnetic energy lost through interactions with gas molecules and matter during its passage through the atmosphere.
Absorption (Atmospheric)
Atmospheric absorption is defined as a process in which solar radiation is retained by a substance and converted into heat energy.
Absorption Processes
In the spectral (signature) curves we have encountered throughout this Tutorial, the parameter given on the ordinate is usually reflectance.
Absorption of the GPS signal in the forest canopy leads to poor results, however, with errors up to 50 meters and more. Furthermore, the canopy may cause interruptions and signal loss for several seconds.
This is in large part due to the greater absorption of atmospheric aerosols at the corresponding wavelengths. A clearer false color composite may have resulted from using the visible bands 2, 3 and 4 or even false color bands 3, 4 and 5.
An atmospheric model describes the transformation of the radiance due to scattering by molecules and aerosols, and gaseous absorption during the path from the sun to the earth's surface and between the surface and the spacecraft.
Landscapes, such as open water, which have very limited absorption capability have a default value of 1. More complex landscapes are assigned higher values by the user.
Light attenuation - Absorption, scattering, or reflection of light by water, chlorophyll a, dissolved substances, or particulate matter. Light attenuation reduces the amount of light available to submerged aquatic vegetation.
from German kurz, meaning 'short'; limited use due to absorption by water vapour, so Ku and Ka were used instead for surveillance. K-band is used for detecting clouds by meteorologists, and by police for detecting speeding motorists.
Removal of bogs, swamps and other wetlands in order to produce farmland has reduced the absorption zones for excess water and made floods into sudden disasters rather than gradual increases in water flow.
Principal contributors to the final range error that also contribute to overall GPS error are ephemeris error, satellite-clock and electronics inaccuracies, tropospheric and ionospheric refraction, atmospheric absorption, receiver noise, ...
