Landsat 8 OLI Broadband Albedo Validation in Antarctica and Greenland

The albedo is a fundamental component of the processes that govern energy budget, and particularly important in context climate change. However, satellite-based high-resolution (30 m) product which can be used polar regions up to 82.5° latitude during summer seasons lacking. To cover this gap, study we calculate broadband from Landsat 8 OLI validate it against measurements situ stations located on Antarctic Greenland icesheets. model derive raw satellite data includes an atmospheric topographic correction conversion narrow-band albedo, at each step different options were taken into account, order provide best combination corrections. Results, after being cleaned anomalous data, show good agreement with measurements, mean absolute error between 0.021, root square 0.026, standard deviation 0.015, correlation coefficient 0.995 (p < 0.01) bias estimate ?0.005. Considering structure model, could applied previous sensors family help construct record analyze variations regions.
