Validation plan - Overview • A global analysis • Comparison with other land surface albedos according following criteria: global, routinely disseminated, free access. • 2 classes of products are analysed: • Albedos issued from radiation transfer codes and GCMs • (ISCCP, ECMWF, ARPEGE) • b) Albedos issued from a Ground Segment of remote sensing dataprocessing • (MISR, MODIS, MSA) • A local analysis • Comparison with ground-based pyranometers: • BSRN, ARM, SURFRAD, CarboEurope, AsiaFlux Objective criteria: seasonal trend, spatial coherence, gap filling, % of erroneous data, quality assessment, attempt of error explanation by other means.

Centre de Production POLDER (CPP) CPP distributes 2 products: • Directional Parameters products : spectral BRDF model coefficients. • Albedo : spectral Directional Hemispherical Reflectance (DHR) for median solar zenith angle (to be changed for solar noon for PARASOL/POLDER-3) • Synthesis period : 30 jours • Composite period : 10 jours • [enhanced weight is given to the data near central date] • DQX (Data Quality indeX) : includes ‘level of noise’ and quality of BRDF model inversion.

SAF on Land Surface Analysis The main purpose of the Land SAF is to increase the benefits from MSG/SEVIRI and EPS/AVHRR-3 data related to land, land-atmosphere interactions and biophysical applications, namely by developing techniques, that will allow a more effective use of data from the two planned EUMETSAT satellites (MSG and EPS)

Overview of Land surface albedo - Essential climate variable to assess energy budget (via net absorbed radiation) in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and climate modeling • Specifications required by end-users community for a snow-free albedo product is assessed around 0.03 (absolute units) • Validation is the process of determination by which a model provides a representation of the truth. Typically, it yields an analysis of the spatial variability ( i.e. the representation of the gradients at the continental scale ), plus the temporal evolution, typically over an annual cycle.
