Surface Albedo Validation Sites

Abstract:
The SAVS V1.0 (Surface Albedo Validation Sites) is a static database of potential validation sites. It provides information on the characterization of more than 2000 surface sites with respect of their spatial and temporal homogeneity. Statistical measures are provided enabling the user to easily filter the database using their own criteria. It is a powerful tool for providing a traceable approach to characterize potential sites for EO data validation.
