Development of a high spectral resolution surface albedo product for the ARM Southern Great Plains central facility [PDF]
We present a method for identifying dominant surface type and estimating high spectral resolution surface albedo at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) facility at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) site in Oklahoma for use in radiative transfer ...

Photometry of Kuiper belt object (486958) Arrokoth from New Horizons LORRI [PDF]
On January 1st 2019, the New Horizons spacecraft flew by the classical Kuiper belt object (486958) Arrokoth (provisionally designated 2014 MU69), possibly the most primitive object ever explored by a spacecraft.

Assessing spatio-temporal variability and trends in modelled and measured Greenland Ice Sheet albedo (2000–2013) [PDF]
Accurate measurements and simulations of Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) surface albedo are essential, given the role of surface albedo in modulating the amount of absorbed solar radiation and meltwater production. In this study, we assess the spatio-temporal

Evaluation of Albedo Schemes in WRF Coupled with Noah-MP on the Parlung No. 4 Glacier
Meteorological variables (e.g., air temperature (T2), radiation flux, and precipitation) determine the evolution of glacier mass and characteristics.

How does the shape of the stellar spectrum affect the Raman scattering features in the albedo of exoplanets? [PDF]
Diagnostic potential of the spectral signatures of Raman scattering imprinted in planetary albedo spectra at short optical wavelengths has been demonstrated in research on Solar System planets and has recently been proposed as a probe of exoplanet ...

Ultraviolet and visible photometry of asteroid (21) Lutetia using the Hubble Space Telescope [PDF]
The asteroid (21) Lutetia is the target of a planned close encounter by the Rosetta spacecraft in July 2010. To prepare for that flyby, Lutetia has been extensively observed by a variety of astronomical facilities. We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)

Comparison of spatial and temporal variation of maize evapotranspiration in Mahidasht using Landsat 8 satellite images and available resources [PDF]
The crop evapotranspiration (ET) has spatial and temporal variations within the region due to changes in meteorological parameters, phenological stage, and farm management conditions.

Quantifying Snow Albedo Radiative Forcing and Its Feedback during 2003–2016
Snow albedo feedback is one of the most crucial feedback processes that control equilibrium climate sensitivity, which is a central parameter for better prediction of future climate change.
