The data is stored in NetCDF format and standardized on a 1-km grid, allowing for direct pixel-to-pixel comparison. The dataset consists of albedo values and surface classifications, enabling an in-depth analysis of retrieval consistency and discrepancies between the two sensors. Data were averaged over weekly time periods for valid sea-ice pixels. The specific dates for each weekly period are provided. The retrieval algorithm is described in https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-17-1053-2023.The dataset includes the following variables:
1. MODIS_SW_albedo: Albedo values retrieved from the MODIS sensor using the SciML albedo retrieval algorithm. Values are provided for the period January-May 2021 on a grid with a spatial resolution of 1 km.
2. MODIS_mask: Surface classification mask for the MODIS sensor. The mask values correspond to different surface types and features:
• 0: Water
• 1: Sea-ice
• 2: Sea-covered ice
3. SGLI_SW_albedo: Albedo values retrieved from the SGLI sensor using the the SciML albedo retrieval algorithm. These values are provided for the same time period (January-May 2021) and grid as the MODIS data.
4. SGLI_mask: Surface classification mask for the SGLI sensor. The mask uses the same classification scheme as the MODIS mask:
• 0: Water
• 1: Sea-ice
• 2: Sea-covered ice

Time Periods Covered: The dataset spans eight weekly time intervals, corresponding to the following periods:
• 2021-01-08 ~ 2021-01-13
• 2021-01-31 ~ 2021-02-06
• 2021-02-11 ~ 2021-02-17
• 2021-03-05 ~ 2021-03-12
• 2021-03-15 ~ 2021-03-20
• 2021-04-01 ~ 2021-04-07
• 2021-04-22 ~ 2021-04-30
• 2021-05-07 ~ 2021-05-12

Each period represents a weekly aggregate of albedo and surface classification data from both sensors, averaged where valid sea-ice pixels were present.
