Modeling glacier‐surface albedo across Svalbard for the 1979–2015 period: The HiRSvaC500‐α data set

Abstract Albedo is an important quantity for determining the energy balance of snow and ice surfaces and thus also for the mass balance of glaciers. It is especially important in polar regions where shortwave radiation fluxes typically provide most of the energy input to a glacier. In order to use a...
