Description: The package consists of a set of tools for retrieving snow
        and ice albedo from optical satellite imagery (e.g., Landsat
        and Sentinel-2). The tools require the following gridded
        datasets: (1) atmospherically-corrected surface reflectance,
        (2) a digital elevation model (DEM), and (3) satellite and
        solar azimuth and zenith angles. The package includes tools
        for: image pre-processing (crop grids to a specified extent,
        project grids with different coordinate systems, and convert
        data from integer to floating point); convert nadir satellite
        observations to off-nadir values using view-angle corrections;
        detect and mask topographic shadows; automatic discrimination
        of snow and ice surfaces; anisotropic correction of reflected
        radiation of glacier snow and ice using empirical
        parameterizations of the bidirectional reflectance distribution
        function (BRDF); topographic correction; and
        narrow-to-broadband albedo conversion.
