Sensor Spectral Response Function of MODIS and TM 
MOCMS 3 4 1 
TM 12 3 
Figure 5. Relative spectral response functions of MODIS and TM 
- Albedo retrievals from the different data and products were 
highly correlated (0.98 > r > 0.86). The reason why data 
showed (moderate) offsets was not fully understood from the 
processing schemes associated with the different datasets. 
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 
The authors would like to thank Tim Sanders and Thomas 
Wagner for their support in HyMap data processing.
