Validation of MISR land surface broadband albedo
Land surface broadband albedo is a critical variable for many scientific applications. Due to the scarcity of spectral albedo measurements of the Earth's surface environments, it is useful to construct broadband albedo from spectral albedo data obtained by multi-angle satellite observations. The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) onboard NASA'

Land Cover, Rainfall and Land-Surface Albedo in West Africa
Land surface albedo is an important variable in General Circulation Models (GCMs). When land cover is modified through anthropogenic land use, changes in land-surface albedo may produce atmospheric subsidence and reduction of rainfall. In this study we examined albedo time series and their relationships with rainfall, land cover, and population in West

An Improved Method For Retrieving Land Surface Albedo Over Rugged Terrain
Land surface albedo is a very important parameter, which can be derived from a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model with angular integration of BRDF in a particular distribution of downward solar irradiance. The Algorithm for MODIS Bidirectional Reflectance Anisotropic of Land Surface (AMBRALS) utilizes a kernel-driven BRDF ...

The retrieval of land surface albedo in rugged terrain
2012 Second International Workshop on Earth Observation and Remote Sensing Applications, 2012Land surface albedo may be derived from the satellite data through the estimation of a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model and angular integration. However many BRDF models do not consider explicitly the topography. In rugged terrain, the topography influences the observed surface reflectance, and varies the distribution of ...

An Improved Land-Surface Albedo Algorithm With DEM in Rugged Terrain
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2014The influence of topography on land-surface bidirectional reflectance and albedo should be considered in rugged terrain. However, land-surface albedo algorithms neglect topographic effects, leading to errors in estimating the albedo in rugged terrain.
