Code and testing data for unified four-Stream radiative transfer theory in the optical-thermal domain with consideration of fluorescence for multi-layer vegetation canopies

This theory can be used to develop vegetation models for remote sensing applications and plant physiological processes, such as photosynthesis and transpiration. It can also be used to solve the radiative transfer problems in soil-water, soil-water-atmosphere, or soil-vegetation-atmosphere ensembles, besides the soil-vegetation system presented in the note.

This dataset is associated with the following paper Yang, P., Verhoef, W., & van der Tol, C. (2020). Unified four-stream radiative transfer theory in the optical-thermal domain with consideration of fluorescence for multi-layer vegetation canopies. Remote sensing, 12(23), 1-19.
