Based on Terra MODIS(moderate resolution imaging spectraradiometer) data in 500 m resolution in 2004, this paper retrieves the albedo over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau by using the linear RossThick-LiTransit kernel-driven BRDF(bidirectional reflectance distribution function) model. Given mean aerosol optical depth as 0.11, the actual albedo at 1200 BST is calculated. The retrieved albedo distribution is well consistent with local land cover types and terrain characteristic from DEM(the digital elevation model). In addition, comparisons of retrievals and ground-based albedo observations from four radiation stations located in the northern Tibetan Plateau reveal that the accuracy of retrievals in 500 m resolution not only can meet requirement of albedo in climate model and land surface process model, but also is better than that of retrievals from the U. S. BRDF/albedo products in 1 km resolution.
