My question is based on this paper - http://www.bsc.es/media/412.pdf.
The authors have calculated albedo, surface emissivity and thermal inertia for a small region in Europe using the AVHRR data.
In a similar way I have land cover information at 30 meter resolution derived from Landsat images.
I need to calculate albedo for a small region and a climatological period(say Boreal summer). I used the Semi Automatic Classifer Plugin from QGIS to download Landsat images for the period June 1st through August 31st(2014 and 2013) and I got very few images over my region. I need at least 50 to 70 images(more would be better).
I believe MODIS satellite images provide an alternative to calculate the albedo. It is at a lower resolution but I believe a downscaling can be done. My question is can it provide sufficient number of passes in order to come up with a climatological albedo ? The presence of clouds is not a problem as cloud masking can be done.
