BRDF stands for Bidirectional Radiance Distribution Function, a way for describing how a surface reflects light. In game shaders BRDF is usually a rougher approximation, simplified for faster rendering. A BRDF map is a vertical gradient mixed with a horizontal gradient, each controlling how the surface reflects light relative to a different angle: one for the camera, and the other for the main light.
