Supporting information for "Enhancing climate impact assessment with surface albedo effects of land cover changes"

This repository contains supporting information for the article "Enhancing climate impact assessment with surface albedo effects of land cover changes: Methodology and dataset". The files containing the results of the comparison between proxy values (solar-noon blue-sky, solar-noon black-sky) and daily-mean blue-sky albedo values are labelled beginning with "albedo_proxy_comp" and ending with either "BLS" (indicating the comparison is with solar-noon blue-sky values) or "BKS" (indicating the comparison is with solar-noon blue-sky values) and represent the yearly average difference found. The files containing results of the seasonal (monthly) Mann-Kendall tests performed on the surface albedo values for each land cover type are indicated as "mk_seasonal_lc-XX". Similarly, the Mann-Kendall tests done on the yearly-averaged surface albedo values are indicared as "mk_yearly_lc-XX". The land cover type is indicated per the following table: Land cover type File naming code Evergreen needleleaf forest 1 Evergreen broadleaf forest 2 Deciduous needleleaf forest 3 Deciduous broadleaf forest 4 Mixed forest 5 Forest (all types) forest Closed shrublands 6 Open shrublands 7 Woody savanna 8 Savanna 9 Grasslands 10 Permanent wetlands (all) 11 Permanent wetlands - woody 11-27 Permanent wetlands - herbaceous 11-50 Croplands (all) 12 Croplands - cereal 12-7 Croplands - broadleaf 12-8 Urban/built-up lands 13 Cropland/natural mosaics (all) 14 Cropland/natural mosaics - forest 14-25 Cropland/natural mosaics - herbaceous 14-35 Barren 16
