Spatiotemporal variations in land surface albedo across Canada from MODIS observations
Abstract
A detailed knowledge of spatiotemporal variations in surface albedo is crucial if surface-atmosphere energy exchanges are to be accurately represented in climate models. Satellite observations can provide this information. This study uses moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) data to investigate how summer and winter albedos, and the intra-annual variation in albedo, vary across the Canadian landscape. We show that (i) albedos …
