   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  re-
       flectance  in the range of 0.3-3 micro-meters.  It takes as input indi-
       vidual 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 uses for Landsat 8 the weighted average reflectance (temporary solu-
       tion until an algorithm is found).

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

EXAMPLE
       The  following  example creates the raster map "albedo_lsat7_1987" from
       the LANDSAT-TM5 bands in the North Carolina dataset:
       g.region raster=lsat5_1987_10 -p
       i.albedo -l input=lsat5_1987_10,lsat5_1987_20,lsat5_1987_30,lsat5_1987_40,lsat5_1987_50,lsat5_1987_70 output=albedo_lsat7_1987

       Figure: Resulting albedo map from LANDSAT 5

       The following example creates the raster map  "albedo_lsat7_2000"  from
       the LANDSAT-TM7 bands in the North Carolina dataset:
       g.region raster=lsat7_2000_10 -p
       i.albedo -l input=lsat7_2000_10,lsat7_2000_20,lsat7_2000_30,lsat7_2000_40,lsat7_2000_50,lsat7_2000_70 output=albedo_lsat7_2000

       Figure: Resulting albedo map from LANDSAT 7

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