Wintertime UAV-based land surface albedo data over forested environments

This data-set contains Land Surface Albedo (LSA) data obtained via a UAV sytem with up and downlooking shortwave radiation sensors, as described in the JGR-Atmospheres paper "Effect of forest canopy structure on wintertime Land Surface Albedo: Evaluating CLM5 simulations with in-situ measurements", by Malle et al. (2021, under review). This publication must be cited when using the data.

Data was collected across a large range of forest structures and solar angles in Switzerland (Davos Laret) and in Finland (Sodankylä). For each waypoint location at each site, data includes measured LSA, incoming SWR, reflected SWR and sunlit snow-view fraction alongside zenith angle, azimuth angle and measurement time (local time). Please refer to the abovementioned article for more detailed explanation.
