Stephen O. E. D. C. (Stephen O. E. D. C. Radiance)

Stephen O. E. D. C. (Stephen O. E. D. C. Radiance) is a mathematical model used in remote sensing and atmospheric sciences to analyze how light interacts with Earth's surface and atmosphere. It helps scientists interpret satellite or aerial images by accurately assessing the energy reflected or emitted by objects, considering factors like surface reflectance and atmospheric interference. This model improves the precision of measurements related to land, vegetation, water, and other surfaces, aiding in environmental monitoring, climate studies, and resource management.
