- How do the observed and modelled data compare?
- Which model moe accurately represents the measured results? Why?
- How do TARTES simulations with Robledano's grain shape compare to spherical and fractal grain shapes? What causes these differences?

Case study: analysing data from March 19 2021
Motivation: Validation of field spectroscopy measurements as well as preparation for future field campaigns.
Purpose: comparing the observed and modelled results for surface spectral reflectance.
Literature review
- Based on different data and different methods. HIghlighting the limitations of previous studies
- More recent articles: 10 years old literature
Novelty:
- The importance of using hyperspectral data for snow albedo data retrieval Typically multi channel data are used for albedo retrieval (e.g. MODIS, ASTER, AVHRR)
- A new grain shape algorithm (Robledanoet al., 2023) used in TARTES
- Comparing observed spectral reflectance data and modelled data.
- Field spectrometer data ASD Field spec 4
- AVIRIS-NG Surface Spetral Reflectance
- Running TARTES in MATLAB
- Running TARTES in Python
- Creating a lookup table to account formissing SSA values
Answering the researh questions.
