BIDIRECTIONAL REFLECTANCE

Specialty Definition: BIDIRECTIONAL REFLECTANCE

DomainDefinition

Solar

A term for the amount of reflected radiation compared to the amount of incident radiation, or albedo, of a surface. The surface is not perfectly specular. That is, the reflected intensity is not at the same angle with respect to the surface normal as the incoming rays, nor are the two intensities necessarily equal (in crude terms, when light bounces off the Earth, some of it is absorbed and the rest of it bounces "funny", not as it would off a mirror).
