In this chapter, we have introduced a correction method, which enables the
correction of data from different satellites. Even though observed at the same point,
there is a disagreement in the data collected at two different reflected angles, nadir and
off-nadir. In these corrections the Minnaert constant obtained from an indicatrix must
be used.
