i.albedo - Computes broad band albedo from surface reflectance.

       Yann Chemin

i.albedo calculates the albedo, that  is  the  Shortwave  surface  reflectance  in  the  range  of  0.3-3
       micro-meters.   It  takes as input individual bands of surface reflectance originating from MODIS, AVHRR,
       Landsat or Aster satellite sensors and calculates the albedo for those.  This is a precursor to r.sun and
       any energy-balance processing.

       The following example creates the raster map "albedo_lsat7_1987" from the LANDSAT-TM5 bands in the  North
       Carolina dataset:
       g.region raster=lsat5_1987_10 -p
       i.albedo -l input=lsat5_1987_10,lsat5_1987_20,lsat5_1987_30,lsat5_1987_40,lsat5_1987_50,lsat5_1987_70 output=albedo_lsat7_1987

       The  following example creates the raster map "albedo_lsat7_2000" from the LANDSAT-TM7 bands in the North
       Carolina dataset:
       g.region raster=lsat7_2000_10 -p
       i.albedo -l input=lsat7_2000_10,lsat7_2000_20,lsat7_2000_30,lsat7_2000_40,lsat7_2000_50,lsat7_2000_70 output=albedo_lsat7_2000

i.albedo  - Computes broad band albedo from surface reflectance.

       It uses for Landsat 8 the weighted average reflectance (temporary solution until an algorithm is found).

       It assumes MODIS product surface reflectance in [0;10000].
