DESCRIPTION¶
i.albedo calculates the albedo, that is the Shortwave surface reflectance in the range of 0.3-3 micro-meters. It takes as input individual bands of surface reflectance originating from MODIS, AVHRR, Landsat or Aster satellite sensors and calculates the albedo for those. This is a precursor to r.sun and any energy-balance processing.
NOTES¶
It uses for Landsat 8 the weighted average reflectance (temporary solution until an algorithm is found).
It assumes MODIS product surface reflectance in [0;10000].
EXAMPLE¶
The following example creates the raster map
"albedo_lsat7_1987" from the LANDSAT-TM5 bands in the North
Carolina dataset:
g.region raster=lsat5_1987_10 -p i.albedo -l input=lsat5_1987_10,lsat5_1987_20,lsat5_1987_30,lsat5_1987_40,lsat5_1987_50,lsat5_1987_70 output=albedo_lsat7_1987
Figure: Resulting albedo map from LANDSAT 5
The following example creates the raster map
"albedo_lsat7_2000" from the LANDSAT-TM7 bands in the North
Carolina dataset:
g.region raster=lsat7_2000_10 -p i.albedo -l input=lsat7_2000_10,lsat7_2000_20,lsat7_2000_30,lsat7_2000_40,lsat7_2000_50,lsat7_2000_70 output=albedo_lsat7_2000

TODO¶
Maybe change input requirement of MODIS to [0.0-1.0]?
