Downscaled GOES-R 500m Land Surface Albedo Over SAIL

PI

Purpose

This data set contains surface albedo estimates across the SAIL study area derived from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R).  Unlike the GOES-R surface albedo product, which is reported at 2-km resolution, this data set is produced at 500-m resolution and is produced by downscaling GOES-R data.  The downscaling is performed using a "U-Net" and trained with concurrent, collocated, GOES-R surface albedo and 500-m Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) blue-sky albedo derived from the MCD43A3 product.
