Description
For multiple Arctic glaciated regions (Table 1), 1km daily data (Table 2) from the SICE v1.6 algorithm, see Wehrlé et al (2021) and Kokhanovsky et al (2019) for details. Broadband albedo "albedo_bb_planar_sw" is after Kokhanovsky et al (2019). "BBA_combination" is albedo_bb_planar_sw for albedo_bb_planar_sw values above 0.565 and is combined with an ampirical albedo for albedo_bb_planar_sw below or equal to 0.565, see Wehrlé et al (2021). Data format is GeoTiff in the EPSG:3413 - WGS 84 / NSIDC Sea Ice Polar Stereographic North. We suggest using rasterio to read the data files. The data are also available from https://thredds.geus.dk/
