It provides information on the radiative basis, thus on the temperature and water balance. The directional albedo or directional-hemispherical reflectance (also called black-sky albedo) is defined as the integration of the bi-directional reflectance over the viewing hemisphere. It assumes all energy is coming from a direct radiation from the sun and is computed for the local solar noon.","purpose":"This product is first designed to fit the requirements of the Global Land component of Land Service of GMES-Copernicus. It can be also useful for all applications related to the environment monitoring.","credit":"“SA products were provided by the Global component of the Land Service of the Copernicus programme of (or funded by) the European Commission.
