Albedo Algorithm • Magnitude BRDF Inversion requires: A priori BRDF (ancillary data) + BRF observations (MERIS) • Approach A -- uses land cover based BRDF shape each land surface type shares a BRDF shape easier to implement • Approach B -- uses concurrent MODIS BRDF shape each pixel has an unique BRDF shape from MODIS BRDF products better BRDF presentation at pixel level • Products: BRDF parameters, albedo, nadir BRDF-adjusted reflectance
