An Operational Methodology for Validating Satellite-Based Snow Albedo Measurements Using a UAV
Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022 Snow albedo is highly variable over multiple temporal and spatial scales. This variability is more pronounced in areas that experience seasonal snowpack.

The Impact of Climate Change on the Surface Albedo over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Remote Sensing, 2021 Albedo is a characterization of the Earth’s surface ability to reflect solar radiation, and control the amount of solar radiation absorbed by the land surface.

New spectral functions of the near-ground albedo derived from aircraft diffraction spectrometer observations [PDF]
, 2013 The airborne spectral observations of the upward and downward irradiances are revisited to investigate the dependence of the near-ground albedo as a function of wavelength in the entire solar spectrum for different surfaces (sand, water, snow) and under ...

NEOWISE Studies of Spectrophotometrically Classified Asteroids: Preliminary Results [PDF]
, 2011 The NEOWISE dataset offers the opportunity to study the variations in albedo for asteroid classification schemes based on visible and near-infrared observations for a large sample of minor planets. We have determined the albedos for nearly 1900 asteroids

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A Method to Estimate Clear-Sky Albedo of Paddy Rice Fields
Remote Sensing, 2022 As a major crop type in the global agroecosystem, paddy rice fields contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions. Surface albedo plays a vital role in estimating carbon emissions. However, it is difficult to find a broadband albedo estimation over paddy

Influence of spatial heterogeneity of local surface albedo on the area-averaged surface albedo retrieved from airborne irradiance measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2013 Spectral airborne upward and downward irradiance measurements are used to derive the area-averaged surface albedo. Real surfaces are not homogeneous in their reflectivity.
