CLIMATE APPLICATIONS: Same applications as before but with longer time series: Boundary Condition For Climate Models (DOI 10.1007/s00382-005-0073-9) Direct Climate Analysis Such As Impact Of Desertification On African Climate, Impact Of Fires On Surface Reflectance (DOI 10.1029/2002JD002388) Surface Reflectance Changes As Response To Precipitation Variability And Change (DOI 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2008.04.004, DOI 10.1007/s00704-013-0880-6). In addition the data are being used within the EU FP7 QA4ECV project for combination with data from polar orbit for true global albedo data record and the within calculations of surface shortwave radiative flux
