Retrieval of surface needs atmospheric correction for aerosol effect
Retrieval of aerosol relies on assumption of surface reflectance
Idea: No assumptions are needed in simultaneous retrieval of aerosol and surface from combination of up- and down - looking observations
Retrieval using combinations of up- and down-looking observations

Spectral properties: - leaf reflectance; - leaf transmittance; - soil albedo (Lambertian);
Spectral properties: - height of the canopy (~0.4 - 0.9 m);
