Program to find best-fitting values of the optical properties (reflectance, transmittance, absorptance) of a single leaf from measured values of the reflectance of stacks of leaves backed by opaque material of reflectance rg. The program and all subroutines are written in GNU Octave and should also work in MATLAB Work supported by Russian-British project “Multiplatform remote sensing of the impact of climate change on northern forests of Russia” funded by the British Council (Institutional Links Programme Grant no. 352397111) and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (project RFMEFI61618X0099) and the EU ‘Interact’ programme to support the research and education network of Arctic research stations (www.eu-interact.org).
