 <em>i.emissivity</em> calculates the emissivity in the longwave radiation
 spectrum, according to the semi-empirical equation related to NDVI by
-Caselles and Colles (1997), valid in the NDVI range of 0.16 to 0.74.
+Caselles et al. (1997), valid in the NDVI range of 0.16 to 0.74 (Bastiaanssen, 1995).

+Caselles et al. (1997) give reference (in Table 3 and Figure 2) to both
+the NDVI range used (0.15 - 0.71) and the corresponding emissivity range
+used (0.97 - 0.99). 
+<p>
+The emissivity is the efficiency of longwave energy returning to the
+atmosphere from the skin surface. The skin surface receives heat from
+the thermal infrared radiation of the Sun, through atmospheric interaction.
+A part is returned to the atmosphere fastly, and another part is kept in
+the surface skin to be returned later. In more scientific terms, the
+grey body radiation is equal to the black body radiation times the emissivity.
