The Global LAnd Surface Satellite albedo product was produced by using MODIS data product of 1km Surface reflectance (MOD/MYD09GA), Angular Bin inversion algorithm and statistics-based Temporal Filter algorithm based on statistical knowledge.This data set is in the GLASS global products using the two tiles covering the heihe river basin (h25v04, h25v05), after a Mosaic, projection transformation, and cutting the heihe river basin 1 km resolution epicontinental black empty albedo (black - sky albedo) and white empty albedo (white - sky albedo) data sets, including both Albers and UTM projection method, are raw format, space vector boundary of heihe river basin is the scope of the rectangle, temporal resolution for eight days.

File naming and required software

File name: raw data for grid storage, file folder to store by Albers and UTM projection, the file name "GLASS02A06. Albers1km. Ayyyyddd. Img", including yyyy representative years, DDD on behalf of the day, the file time resolution for eight days, such as GLASS02A06.Albers1km.A2001001.img, Represents the albedo data from the first day of 2001.
Data reading: it can be opened with Arcgis, Envi and other remote sensing software.
