Landsat 8 OLI Broadband Albedo Validation in Antarctica and Greenland [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 The albedo is a fundamental component of the processes that govern the energy budget, and particularly important in the context of climate change. However, a satellite-based high-resolution (30 m) albedo product which can be used in the polar regions up to 82.5° latitude during the summer seasons is lacking.
