Abstract :
This paper describes the algorithm underlying the ESA DUE globAlbedo product. The purpose of the project is to produce a global 8-day land surface albedo product with associated uncertainty on a 1 km grid with continuous spatial coverage using data from European sensors. The product covers the period 1999-2011.
