Albedo Product

A joint product from UCL and Brockmann Consult

 

The QA4ECV albedo Essential Climate Variable product contains broadband and spectral albedos: (1) A shortwave DAILY albedo at 0.05 degrees derived from AVHRR and GEOstationary satellite data from 1981-2014; (2) A broadband DAILY product at 0.05 degrees derived from AVHRR only from 1981-2014 in 3 broadband (Visible, near-IR and shortwave); (3) a spectral DAILY product at 1km derived from MODIS, VEGETATION(2), MERIS, Proba-V from 1998-2016. (4) a 10-band spectral and broadband product derived from the MCD43 A1,2 (500m daily) to summarise 16 years of observations. Upscaled versions of ALL of these products are also available.
