The spectral calculations of the normal reflectance of snow cover of different thicknesses under oblique solar illumination are compared with a numerical reference solution. It is shown that the approximate two-step method is sufficiently accurate for use in practical applications. Computational analysis indicates that the reflectance value depends only on the optical properties of the snow surface layer, the thickness of which decreases strongly with increasing radiation wavelength.

To overcome the above problems, a solution based on full-spectrum correlated k-distribution method (FSCK) and null-collision Monte Carlo method (NCMCM) is proposed in this paper. Compared to traditional photon Monte Carlo methods (PMCM), NCMCM can significantly reduce the tracking time in non-uniform media without affecting statistical results by introducing a null-collision event. By establishing the correlated assumption and using high-precision Gaussian quadrature scheme or random artificial spectral <em>g</em>-sampling method, FSCK can greatly reduce the number of solutions for the radiative transfer equation in non-uniform non-gray gases without losing spectral accuracy. The combination of FSCK and NCMCM can easily simulate radiative heat transfer in a non-uniform and non-grey media by merely introducing a non-gray stretching factor into the recorded blackbody radiation intensity. The computational accuracy and efficiency of two combination methods, FSCK/NCMCM and FSCK/PMCM, are evaluated through several typical cases. The results demonstrate that both FSCK/NCMCM with fixed artificial spectral <em>g</em><sub>0</sub> sampling and FSCK/PMCM with random artificial spectral <em>g</em><sub>0</sub> sampling achieve accuracy comparable to the benchmark method of LBL/NCMCM.

To fulfill the application requirements for aerial image atmospheric correction, our approach involves simultaneously capturing multi-spectral polarized radiometric information across the visible, near-infrared, and short-wave infrared bands. This approach enables the retrieval of critical atmospheric parameters, such as aerosol and water vapor characteristics. We propose a system design for aerial atmospheric multi-angle polarization detection and develop an Aerial Polarized Radiometer accordingly. Firstly, we introduce the optical system design of the aerial polarized radiometer based on the theory of multi-aperture polarized light detection. To ensure accurate and timely collection of atmospheric spectral polarized radiometric information, with temporal synchronization and spatial correspondence in aerial atmospheric images, we design a multi-channel signal synchronous acquisition and transmission system based on aperture polarization detection. This system is capable of simultaneously capturing multi-channel spectral polarized detection information, effectively reducing the risks of pseudo-polarization phenomena and inconsistent detection targets across different bands that are often caused by asynchronous acquisition. Secondly, we elaborate on the design of the acquisition system and the acquisition timing of the dual Analog-to-Digital converters. The experimental results reveal that the stability error of the Aerial Polarized Radiometer in dark conditions is less than 0.1%. The signal-to-noise ratio of the Aerial Polarized Radiometer within its detection target range can reach 84 dB, while its non-linearity error is lower than 1%.
