    • NLCD - MODIS land cover- albedo dataset for the continental United States

    Metadata Updated: May 2, 2021

    The NLCD-MODIS land cover-albedo database integrates high-quality MODIS albedo observations with areas of homogeneous land cover from NLCD. The spatial resolution (pixel size) of the database is 480m-x-480m aligned to the standardized UGSG Albers Equal-Area projection. The spatial extent of the database is the continental United States.

    This dataset is associated with the following publication: Wickham, J., M. Nash, and C.A. Barnes. Effect of land cover change on snow free surface albedo across the continental United States. Global and Planetary Change. Elsevier BV, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 146: 1-9, (2016).
