AbstractValidation of remote sensing albedo products involves comparisons between point-scale in situ observations and footprint-scale satellite retrievals. However, the observed differences between product and in situ observations are not only attributable to intrinsic errors of satellite products but also to inadequate spatial representativeness of in situ observations. Here, representativeness errors of in situ observations and their effects on validation results were quantitatively explored. Furthermore, the contributors and their influences on representativeness errors were quantified. In the case of large representativeness errors, validation result errors are mainly controlled by representativeness errors. When representativeness errors are small, validation result errors are likely affected by other factors and can be so large that cannot be ignored. Surface heterogeneity is most positively related to representativeness errors, followed by the deviation distance of in situ site from the pixel center. The representative area surrounding in situ sites only shows a weak negative correlation with representativeness errors. The range seems to be not a good indicator of spatial representativeness of in situ sites since there is almost no relationship between them. When these factors are combined, surface heterogeneity contributes more to representativeness errors on the 500-m pixel scale, while quantitative impacts of the representative area and location deviation of in situ sites are not fully understood because magnitudes of these effects are dependent on the choice of high-resolution data set. These findings enhance our understanding about spatial representativeness of in situ observations and improve the quality of validation results based on single in situ observations.
