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.

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

Downscaling Surface Albedo to Higher Spatial Resolutions With an Image Super-Resolution Approach and PROBA-V Satellite Images [PDF]
, 2023 For bifacial solar photovoltaic panels, surface albedo plays a crucial role in estimating the radiant energy. Since land surfaces are heterogeneous, the actual albedo of the surface where the solar photovoltaic panel is placed can vary widely and its ...

Assessing spatio-temporal variability and trends in modelled and measured Greenland Ice Sheet albedo (2000–2013) [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 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

Impact of observation-based snow albedo parameterization on global ocean simulation results
, 2020 Albedo parameterization is of fundamental importance for accurate representation of high-latitude climate variability by modeling studies. Field observations show that near-infrared snow albedo decreases dramatically when surface air temperature exceeds −
