Comparison of MODIS and SGLI Albedo Retrievals Over the Sea of Okhotsk (January-May 2021)

This dataset contains surface shortwave albedo retrieval and surface classification data derived from both MODIS and SGLI satellite sensors over the Sea of Okhotsk, covering the period from January to May 2021. The data is stored in NetCDF format and standardized on a 1-km grid, allowing for direct pixel-to-pixel comparison. The dataset consists of albedo values and surface classifications, enabling an in-depth analysis of retrieval consistency and discrepancies between the two sensors. Data were averaged over weekly time periods for valid sea-ice pixels. The specific dates for each weekly period are provided. The retrieval algorithm is described in https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-17-1053-2023.
