--quiet
  Quiet module output
--ui
  Force launching GUI dialog

### Parameters:

input=name[,name,...] [required]
  Name of input raster map
output=name [required]
  Name for output raster map

## DESCRIPTION

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.

## NOTES

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

## TODO

Maybe change input requirement of MODIS to [0.0-1.0]?

## SEE ALSO

r.sun, i.vi
