i.albedo - Computes broad band albedo from surface reflectance.

KEYWORDS

imagery, albedo, surface reflectance

SYNOPSIS

i.albedo
i.albedo help
i.albedo [-mnlacd] input=name[,name,...] output=name [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-m
Modis (7 input bands:1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
-n
NOAA AVHRR (2 input bands:1,2)
-l
Landsat (6 input bands:1,2,3,4,5,7)
-a
Aster (6 input bands:1,3,5,6,8,9)
-c
Agressive mode (Landsat)
Albedo dry run to calculate some water to beach/sand/desert stretching, a kind of simple atmospheric correction
-d
Soft mode (Modis)
Albedo dry run to calculate some water to beach/sand/desert stretching, a kind of simple atmospheric correction
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output

Parameters:

input=name[,name,...]
Name of input raster map
output=name
Name for output raster map

DESCRIPTION

i.albedo calculates the Albedo, that is the Shortwave surface reflectance in the range of 0.3-3 micro-meters. It takes input of individual bands of surface reflectance from Modis, AVHRR, Landsat or Aster and calculates the Albedo for those. This is an precursor to r.sun and any Energy-Balance processing.

NOTES

It assumes MODIS product surface reflectance in [0;10000]

TODO

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