Airborne albedo observations from the SNORTEX campaign

These files contain airborne measurements of surface albedo and leaf area index of snow-covered boreal forest, taken during the SNORTEX campaigns of 2008-2010 in Finnish Lapland (near Sodankylä). Files contain geolocation and flight altitude information, calibrated radiative flux measurements, and derived albedo and leaf area index estimates.
