Only the first days of each month were uploaded to Zenodo due to the data storage limitation, and the full dataset is available at http://glass.umd.edu/albedo_clim/. Surface albedo plays a critical role in climate, hydrological, and biogeochemical modeling and weather forecasting. Therefore, precisely mapping surface albedo climatology globally is necessary to better parameterize environmental systems. We generated a new global surface blue-sky actual and snow-free albedo climatology dataset from 20-year MODIS products from the Google Earth Engine (GEE). The 500m global surface blue-sky daily albedo climatology dataset follows the basic MODIS product format and employed the sinusoidal projection. It includes historical and snow-free blue-sky albedo climatology data. For application convenience, the land cover climatology of MODIS product (MCD12Q1) is also generated and attached. The International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and PFT classification climatology of MCD12Q1 since 2001 were also generated.
