Abstract
Based on the generalization of compatible data on spectral brightness coefficients (SBC) and spectral albedo (SA) for the wavelength intervals 0 [sdot] 44-0 [sdot] 46 µm, 0 [sdot] 54-0 [sdot] 56 µm, 0 [sdot] 66-0 [sdot] 69 µm and 0 [sdot] 77-0 [sdot] 80 µm, average values of SBC were tabulated for typical surfaces of the U.S.S.R. territory. These data were used to map the summertime SBC values for the U.S.S.R. territory in the spectral intervals mentioned above and to perform their statistical analysis. A technique for drawing maps and for their analysis is given. The problem of the choice of the most informative spectral intervals for multi-purpose remote sensing of natural formations is discussed. The maps and obtained statistical parameters (average SBC, mean square deviation, asymmetry, excess, and variation coefficient) can be used, to a certain accuracy, to solve some problems of the landscape and atmosphere optics and of remote sensing of the environment.
