What is the sky a metaphor for?

The sky represents the Observing Self. It does not change but everything else does – thoughts, feelings and other experiences. One easy way of introducing this metaphor is to ask the client to think about walking outside and experiencing the wind.

What is the value of metaphors?

Metaphors are some of the greatest tools of human expression. They let us expose rich textures of commonality between things. They let us in on fine shades and details that we might have otherwise missed in a situation.

What is a metaphor in everyday use?

Here are the most common metaphors used in everyday life: Life is a race and we never realise that we are running towards nothing! He is the light of my life. For this whole year, this room has become my prison.

What is top of atmosphere reflectance?

Top of Atmosphere (TOA) Reflectance is a unitless measurement which provides the ratio of radiation reflected to the incident solar radiation on a given surface. It that can be computed from satellite measured spectral radiance using the mean solar spectral irradiance and the solar zenith angle.

What is the difference between Toa Radiance and atmospheric radiance?

The difference is that TOA radiance has included radiation reflected in the atmosphere (to the sensor) before going trough it and radiation reflected by the target that interacts with the atmosphere on it’s way out to the sensor. The radiation that reflects in the atmosphere before going through it is taken as constant for the different bands.

What happens at the top of the atmosphere?

It is the place where solar energy (mostly visible light) enters the Earth system and where both reflected light and invisible, thermal radiation from the Sun-warmed Earth exit. The balance between incoming and outgoing energy at the top of the atmosphere determines the Earth’s average temperature.

How do you measure the radiance of the bottom of atmosphere?

Can Trong Nguyen, BOA (Bottom of atmosphere) radiance should equal to radiance measured in-situ, as you would normally do with a radiometer, standing on the surface and measuring the light reflected off the surface.
