Techniques for making, using and updating a Modeled Atmospheric Correction Object (MACO) cluster and the MACO sites that are selected from within a given MACO cluster. The MACO construct is a novel application of a Model of Reality (MOR) that provides synthetic ground truth essential to converting imagery from top-of-the-atmosphere radiance to surface reflectance given a variety of spatial, spectral and radiance effects involving non-uniform distributions of opaque clouds, cirrus clouds, aerosols, water vapor, surface ice, surface snow, shadows and bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) effects.
