Daily Surface Albedo - MTGLand Surface Albedo (AL) is a key variable for characterising the energy balance in
the soil–vegetation–atmosphere system. Albedo quantifies the fraction of solar energy
that is reflected by the surface, influencing the amount absorbed and transformed
into heat and latent fluxes. Due to strong feedback effects, accurate knowledge of
albedo is important for determining weather conditions in the atmospheric boundary
layer. Additional application areas include hydrometeorology, agrometeorology, and
environmental studies.
The MTLST is derived from the new FCI sensor onboard MTG, and compared with the MSG
MDALv2 product, MTDAL shows small differences, typically less than 1%.
