  • Areal-Averaged Surface Albedo Product Now Baseline

    This ArealAveAlb quicklook image from the EPCAPE campaign in La Jolla, California, provides the estimated surface albedo at the five multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer frequencies (top). Because of albedo’s sensitivity to cloud cover and precipitation, plots of input data—cloud type, cloud optical depth, and precipitation—are also included underneath the albedo plot. Image is provided by…

  • Areal Average Albedo VAP Evaluation Data Now Available

    Shown here are (top) screened areal daily average albedo and (bottom) quality check results on field.A new value-added product (VAP) estimating the surface albedo at Multifilter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (MFRSR) spectral wavelengths is now available from the Southern Great Plains (SGP). The Areal Average Albedo (AREALAVEALB) VAP data set is unique in that it gives…
