A freely available land-surface albedo climatology has been created from the recent version 6.1 of the daily gap-filled snow-cleared MCD43GF dataset from the MODIS instrument. It averages over five years (2017–2021), contains seven bands, and is available at four resolutions: the full 30-arcsecond resolution of the MCD43GF dataset, and also at 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1 degrees. The albedo is described in the form of three coefficients that enable the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BDRF) to be computed.
More information is available in the documentation.
The dataset can be downloaded from here: https://aux.ecmwf.int/ecpds/home/radiation_public/land_surface_brdf_climatology/v2.0/
Do not use version 1.0.
