Description

This is an ancillary product containing the total effective surface albedo at solar wavelengths originated from the ISCCP FD radiative fluxes product, and the spectral albedos from the MODIS black-sky products. This is a monthly climatology data, with spatial grid cell on equal-area mapping at 1.0-degree-equivalent.
