White-Sky Albedo, West Africa, 2000-2014
White-sky broadband albedo, based on the MODIS MCD43B3 product for West Africa from 2000 to 2014. The MODIS standard dataset has been enhanced by data quality assessment, gap filling and temporal filtering of the layer Albedo_WSA_Band_shortwave. Monthly composites are created based on 4 observations within the considered month (2 from MODIS-Terra and 2 from MODIS-Aqua).
- 1 month time steps
- spatial resolution: ~1km (Lat/Lon WGS-84, 0,0085965827 deg)
- data scaling: Albedo[no unit]= pixel value*0.001
- number of columns: 2476, number of rows: 2327, number of bands: 12 (except year 2000 with only 10 bands, missing January and February)
- valid data range: 0-1000
- no data (e.g. ocean) = 0.0
