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

open access: yesRemote 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 ...

Albedo over rough snow and ice surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2014
Both satellite and ground-based broadband albedo measurements over rough and complex terrain show several limitations concerning feasibility and representativeness.

A simple model of snow albedo decay using observations from the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow-Albedo (CoCoRaHS-Albedo) Network

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2017
The albedo of seasonal snow cover plays an important role in the global climate system due to its influence on Earth's radiation budget and energy balance.

Quantifying zonal patterns of climate feedbacks and their role in polar amplification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The significant climate warming seen over the 20th century has been largely attributed to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Spatial patterns of likely future warming are dependent on patterns of climate feedback, but current understanding of ...

Remotely Sensed Albedo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Albedo is a known and documented phenomenon, defined as the reflectivity of a surface, i.e., the ratio of reflected light energy to incident light energy.

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

open access: yesRemote 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

open access: yesGeology, 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesThe 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 ...
