Multi-spectral and multi-directional data acquired during the ReSeDA experiment thanks to the airborne PolDER sensor were used to retrieve surface albedo over the experimental site, for 16 days over the year 1997. The data were available in four wave-bands (10 or 20 nm width) centered at 443 nm, 550 nm, 670 nm, and 865 nm. Zenith view angles ranged from 0 to 50 o. This study aimed at evaluate a procedure based on the use of multi-directional and multi-spectral information to retrieve surface alb
