AMIP:

GRIB:

Reflectance is the ratio of the energy of the reflected to the incident radiation. A coordinate variable can be used to specify the radiation wavelength or frequency. "toa" means top of atmosphere. "Lambertian_equivalent" means the quantity is evaluated for a diffusely reflecting surface.

Term: toa_lambertian_equivalent_albedo

Unit: 1

Unit ref: http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/P061/current/UUUU

AMIP:

GRIB:

Albedo is the ratio of the outgoing to the incoming power per unit area (irradiance). A coordinate variable of, respectively, radiation_wavelength or radiation_frequency can be used to specify the radiation wavelength or frequency. "toa" means top of atmosphere. "lambertian_equivalent" means the quantity is evaluated for a diffusely reflecting surface.
