Description

This dataset contains pre-processed broadband albedo values derived from Landsat Collection 1 and 2 Level-2 surface reflectance data (US Geological Survey) over the Abramov Glacier. The files are in ASC (ASCII Grid) format and have not yet been filtered for bare-ice albedo. This dataset provides raw broadband albedo values before further processing, allowing users to apply their own filtering, classification, or validation procedures.
