A Multisensor Approach to Global Retrievals of Land Surface Albedo [PDF]

, 2018
Satellite-based retrievals offer the most cost-effective way to comprehensively map the surface albedo of the Earth, a key variable for understanding the dynamics of radiative energy interactions in the atmosphere-surface system.

Disposition Model for Permafrost Degradation in Mountainous Regions

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is a widespread thermal phenomenon in Arctic and high mountain regions that, in combination with steep terrain, exerts a key control on slope stability. Its degradation in response to climatic warming can modify the likelihood and timing of rockfall, debris flow and related mass movements. Robust information on the current state and

Aerosol and non-aerosol drivers of regional trends in top-of-atmosphere albedo over 2002–2020

Environmental Research Letters
Climate change responds to, and in turn modifies, trends in the Earth’s top-of-atmosphere (TOA) albedo. These trends are caused in particular by anthropogenic aerosol-radiation and aerosol-cloud interactions, as well as by non-aerosol feedbacks involving

How well do the regional atmospheric and oceanic models describe the Antarctic sea ice albedo? [PDF]

The Cryosphere
We assessed how well regional climate models (HCLIM, MAR, RACMO), ocean models (MetROMS-UHel, NEMO), and ERA5 reanalysis simulate Antarctic sea ice albedo, snow, and ice thickness, using in situ data from field campaigns (ISPOL, Weddell Sea, in December ...

Synergistic benefits of agrivoltaics for grape production and solar energy efficiency in a Mediterranean vineyard

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grapevine production is increasingly challenged by global warming, with global wine output falling to a six‐decade low in 2024. At the same time, the vine and wine sector faces growing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Agrivoltaics, which integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) modules into plant production systems, offers a potential pathway to ...

Climate‐smart land management: Greenhouse gas outcomes and social and economic pathways to adoption

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to natural and working lands, reducing the resilience of agricultural and forest productivity. Because land management is a leading source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate‐smart management practices are being implemented to reduce net emissions while sustaining yields.

Scaling turbulence drives the general circulation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The NOAA Gulfstream SP4, which deployed the GPS dropsondes over the NE Pacific Ocean as part of the Winter Storms Project during the January–March periods of 2004, 2005 and 2006. Abstract Statistical multifractal analysis of airborne and dropsonde observations is used to show that persistence of velocity after molecular collisions breaks the continuous

Modeling glacier‐surface albedo across Svalbard for the 1979–2015 period: The HiRSvaC500‐α data set

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2017
Albedo is an important quantity for determining the energy balance of snow and ice surfaces and thus also for the mass balance of glaciers. It is especially important in polar regions where shortwave radiation fluxes typically provide most of the energy ...

Land Surface Albedo Estimation from Chinese HJ Satellite Data Based on the Direct Estimation Approach

Remote Sensing, 2015
Monitoring surface albedo at medium-to-fine resolution (<100 m) has become increasingly important for medium-to-fine scale applications and coarse-resolution data evaluation.

Analysis of the fractional scattering contribution in the forward peak for multicomponent systems

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Derivation and justification of mixing rules for multicomponent systems. A novel formulation of the delta‐Eddington scaling rule. Analytical guidance for comparing radiative transfer results. Abstract The widely used δ‐Eddington approximation improves the accuracy of radiative transfer calculations by representing the fraction of scattering into the ...
