This dataset contains:
albedo_bb_planar_sw.tif Shortwave broadband planar albedo (300-2400 nm)
diagnostic_retrieval.tif Per-pixel information about the retrieval.
al.tif Effective absorption length (mm)
r0.tif Reflectance of a semi-infinite non-absorbing snow layer
snow_specific_area.tif Snow specific surface area (m^2 kg^-1)
grain_diameter.tif Snow effective optical grain diameter (mm)
Can be used to flag surface melt above 0.64 mm.
