Earth Reflectivity Data
Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2020 2:06 pm America/New_York
Hi,
I had been working of photodiode based Sun Sensors and required Earth reflectivity data for accounting for Earth albedo effect on sensor readings.
Currently, I was using data from the TOMS mission to calculate the albedo irradiance but was curious if there were other missions whose results would be preferable for this purpose. The TOMS data has a resolution of 1deg latitude and 1.25deg longitude. Any alternative would preferably have higher resolution in at least the equatorial regions.
Thanks
