            <gco:CharacterString>The MODIS surface albedo dataset was produced by the Canada Center for Remote Sensing (CCRS), Natural Resources Canada. The dataset represents the solar shortwave broadband surface albedo and it is at a 10-day interval covering the entire Canadian landmass as well as northern USA, Alaska, and the Greenland. The dataset was derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the TERRA satellite which provides a global coverage every 1-2 days in 36 spectral bands ranging from visible to infrared and to thermal wavelengths between 405 and 14,385 nm, and was available since 2000. For the estimation of surface albedo, the first seven spectral bands of B1 to B7 ranging from 459 nm to 2155 nm were used. B1 and B2 have a 250 meter resolution and B3 to B7 have a 500 meter resolution. A downscaling method using a regression and normalization scheme was employed to downscale the bands B3 to B7 to 250 meter resolution while preserving radiometric properties of the original data. To obtain clear-sky observations from MODIS, composite images for a 10 day period were generated by using a series of advanced algorithms (Luo et al., 2008). The 10-day composites of B1-B7 reflectance were then used to retrieve spatially continuous spectral albedo by using a combined land/snow BRDF (Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function) model. In that method, the modified RossThick-LiSparse BRDF model (Maignan et al., 2004) for land and Kokhanovsky and Zege’s model (2004) for snow are linearly combined for mixed surface conditions. They are weighted by snow fraction (0.0 ~ 1.0). The seven spectral albedo were then converted into the shortwave broadband surface albedo using the empirical MODIS polynomial conversion equation of Liang et al. (1999). The data product is in LCC (Lambert Conformal Conic) projection with a 250m pixel resolution. There are 36 albedo images per year. A dataset representing the pixel state (e.g. cloud/shadow, snow/ice, water, land, et al.) was also generated for each 10-day corresponding to the surface albedo product. References: Kokhanovsky, A.

Cet ensemble est constitué de données de l’albédo de la surface pour de larges bandes de lumière solaire à courte longueur d’onde, à des intervalles de 10 jours et couvrant toute la masse continentale du Canada ainsi que le nord des États-Unis, l’Alaska et le Groenland. L’ensemble de données, disponible depuis l’année 2000, a été constitué à partir de données du spectroradiomètre imageur à résolution moyenne (MODIS) installé à bord du satellite TERRA, qui offre une couverture mondiale tous les 1 à 2 jours dans 36 bandes spectrales allant du visible à l’infrarouge, et à des longueurs d’ondes thermiques comprises entre 405 et 14 385 nm. Les sept premières bandes spectrales (B1 à B7) allant de 459 nm à 2155 nm ont servi à estimer l’albédo de la surface. Les bandes B1 et B2 ont une résolution de 250 m, alors que la résolution des bandes B3 à B7 est de 500 m. Une méthode de réduction de résolution, utilisant un schéma de régression et de normalisation, a servi à réduire à 250 m la résolution des bandes B3 à B7, tout en conservant les propriétés radiométriques des données initiales. Afin d’obtenir des observations sous ciel dégagé à partir des données MODIS, nous avons produit des images composites pour une période de 10 jours au moyen d’une série d’algorithmes avancés (Luo et coll., 2008). Nous avons ensuite utilisé les images composites sur 10 jours de la réflectance dans les bandes B1 à B7 pour extraire un albédo spectral continu à l’aide d’un modèle BRDF (distribution du coefficient de réflexion bidirectionnel) combiné terre/neige. Selon cette méthode, le modèle BRDF modifié de RossThick-LiSparse (Maignan et coll., 2004), pour les terres, et le modèle de Kokhanovsky et Zege (2004), pour la neige, sont combinés linéairement afin de tenir compte de conditions de surface mixtes. Ils sont pondérés par la fraction nivométrique (0,0 ~ 1,0). Les albédos pour les sept bandes spectrales ont ensuite été convertis en albédo de la surface pour des bandes larges de rayonnement de courte longueur d’onde à l’aide de l’équation polynomiale empirique pour le MODIS mise au point par Liang et coll. (1999). Le produit de données est dans la projection CCL (conique conforme de Lambert), à résolution de 250 m (taille des pixels). Il comprend 36 images de l’albédo par année. Nous avons également produit un ensemble de données représentant l’état des pixels (notamment, nuages/ombre, neige/glace, eau, terre) pour chaque période de 10 jours correspondant au produit sur l’albédo de la surface.
