Upgrade and extension of LSA-SAF land surface albedo archive from EPS Metop/AVHRR: description and quality assessment by Anthéa Delmotte, Daniel Juncu, Xavier Ceamanos, Isabel F. Trigo, Sandra Gomes

“…ETAL is the operational EPS Ten-Day Albedo product, produced by the EUMETSAT Satellite Application Facility for Land Surface Analysis (LSA SAF). By back-processing the full catalogue of EPS-Metop radiance data from September 2007 to June 2021, we are able to 1) extend the temporal coverage (previously the archive only went back to 2015) and 2) improve the product archive that was based on near-real time (NRT) processing; the second point is achieved by using reanalyses instead of forecasts of atmospheric conditions and by not being exposed to missing data in the NRT radiance inputs. …”
