Evaluation of the MODIS (C6) Daily Albedo Products for Livingston Island, Antarctic

Remote Sensing, 2021
Although extensive research of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) albedo data is available on the Greenland Ice Sheet, there is a lack of studies evaluating MODIS albedo products over Antarctica.

Variability in soil moisture using AMSR-E product- A regional case study in the province of Marathwada division, India

Geology, Ecology, and Landscapes, 2021
Soil moisture plays a crucial role in the assessment of weather patterns and analyzing the precipitation. The moisture analysis in the soil surface has been most efficient with passive remote sensing.

Use of ablation-season albedo as an indicator of annual mass balance of four glaciers in the Tien Shan

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Glacier mass balance and its sensitivity to climate change depend to a large degree on the albedo and albedo feedback. Although recent increasing studies reconstruct the annual surface mass balance (SMB) based on the relationships between satellite ...

Bolometric Hemispherical Albedo Map of Pluto from New Horizons Observations

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The New Horizons encounter with the Pluto system revealed Pluto to have an extremely spatially variable surface with expansive dark, bright, and intermediate terrains, refractory and volatile ices, and ongoing/recent endogenous and exogenous processes ...

Evaluation of a new snow albedo scheme for the Greenland ice sheet in the Regional Atmospheric Climate Model (RACMO2) [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2020
Snow and ice albedo schemes in present-day climate models often lack a sophisticated radiation penetration scheme and do not explicitly include spectral albedo variations.

A statistics-based temporal filter algorithm to map spatiotemporally continuous shortwave albedo from MODIS data [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Land-surface albedo plays a critical role in the earth's radiant energy budget studies. Satellite remote sensing provides an effective approach to acquire regional and global albedo observations.

Review of Land Surface Albedo: Variance Characteristics, Climate Effect and Management Strategy

Remote Sensing, 2022
Surface albedo plays a controlling role in the surface energy budget, and albedo-induced radiative forcing has a significant impact on climate and environmental change (e.g., global warming, snow and ice melt, soil and vegetation degradation, and urban ...

Changes in the Antarctic’s Summer Surface Albedo, Observed by Satellite since 1982 and Associated with Sea Ice Anomalies

Remote Sensing, 2023
In polar regions, positive feedback of snow and ice albedo can intensify global warming. While recent significant decreases in Arctic surface ice albedo have drawn considerable attention, Antarctic surface albedo variability remains underexplored.

Dominance of grain size impacts on seasonal snow albedo at deforested sites in New Hampshire [PDF]

, 2017
Snow cover serves as a major control on the surface energy budget in temperate regions due to its high reflectivity compared to underlying surfaces.
