How to Modify the Ocean's ALBEDO ?

Hello everyone on the forum,

I am a beginner just starting to use WRF. I have previously used ocean models such as FVCOM, and I am currently learning about coupled models, which involve the two-way online coupling between the ocean and the atmosphere. The atmospheric model I am currently using is WRF-4.5, and I plan to modify the ALBEDO value in the ocean area. How should I go about modifying this value (for example, by using a formula to calculate it rather than directly assigning a value 0.08)? Or are there any documents I can refer to? The area I am testing is near the equator and does not involve the occurrence of sea ice.

I sincerely hope to receive suggestions, and thanks in advance.
