In this study, atmospheric data from the MODIS satellite sensor for New Zealand were evaluated as input to the 6S atmospheric correction model. The sensitivity of retrieved reflectance of several targets to changes in the atmospheric components as seen in the MODIS data were also analysed. Ground measurements were used to confirm the accuracy of the MODIS data. These readings showed that the MODIS data have some inaccuracies, especially for aerosol optical depth. A GER 2600 Spectroradiometer was used to measure the surface reflectance of various targets and these were compared to the atmospherically corrected reflectance from the satellite.
