abstract: '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.'
