Land surface albedo, qualifying the ratio of the radiant flux reflected from the land surface to the incident flux, is a key forcing parameter controlling the Earth's energy budget.

Europe, We Have a Problem! Local Economic Winners and Losers of Border Closures
ABSTRACT In response to COVID‐19, Schengen countries temporarily reintroduced internal border controls, disrupting cross‐border integration. Using this policy change as a natural experiment and monthly nighttime lights data, we estimate the short‐run effects on European municipalities.

Abstract Carbon partitioning between organic and carbonate‐associated forms remains poorly constrained in arid to semiarid coastal soils, where geomorphic position, salinity, and carbonate accumulation jointly structure surface‐soil carbon patterns. We evaluated landform controls on surface (0–20 cm) soil organic carbon (SOC), calcite‐equivalent soil ...

Diminished Radiative Cooling With Northward Wildfire Advance in the East Siberian Boreal Region
Abstract Intensification of the Siberian wildfire regime is characterized by large increases in burned area above the Arctic Circle. Wildfire in boreal forests typically reduces albedo in the decades following fire, resulting in a net cooling effect. Here we quantified changes in albedo and the accompanying radiative forcing associated with a northward

This thesis develops an application for interactive experiments with BRDF functions. Arbitrary BRDF function may be specified with an analytic formula, including arbitrary number of parameters. A simple scene is displayed, using specified BRDF.

Extrinsic Limitations of Stealthy Hyperuniform Devices
Stealthy hyperuniform devices exhibit a scattering‐free angular region whose extent follows a simple quenching equation. Experimental measurements confirm this prediction but reveal quenching efficiencies far below theoretical expectations. Multiple scattering and finite‐size effects are quantified, establishing realistic performance limits for ...

Imaging spectroscopy enables large‐scale biodiversity assessment, yet spectral diversity metrics are scale dependent. Across 15 NEON ecosystems, we find that spectral richness increases sub‐linearly from 3600 m2 to 4 km2, whereas spectral divergence shows weak or inconsistent scaling with area, underscoring the importance of scale‐aware interpretation ...
