A Multisensor Approach to Global Retrievals of Land Surface Albedo [PDF]
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. Surface albedo retrievals have commonly been designed separately for each different spaceborne optical imager.

Investigation of Spatial and Temporal Changes in the Land Surface Albedo for the Entire Chinese Territory [PDF]
Currently, global climate change (GCC) and the urban heat island (UHI) phenomena are becoming serious problems, partly due to the artificial construction of the land surface.

Combining MODIS and National Land Resource Products to Model Land Cover-Dependent Surface Albedo for Norway [PDF]
Surface albedo is an important physical attribute of the climate system and satellite retrievals are useful for understanding how it varies in time and space. Surface albedo is sensitive to land cover and structure, which can vary considerably within the

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

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Land surface albedo inversion based on satellite data requires multiple consecutive (generally greater than or equal to 7) observations. Due to weather reasons such as cloud occlusion, it is difficult to obtain sufficient observation data, which leads to

Impact of BRDF Spatiotemporal Smoothing on Land Surface Albedo Estimation
Surface albedo, as a key parameter determining the partition of solar radiation at the Earth’s surface, has been developed into a satellite-based product from various Earth observation systems to serve numerous global or regional applications. Studies point out that apparent uncertainty can be introduced into albedo retrieval without consideration of ...

Identifying Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of Land Surface Albedo Using GF-1 WFV Data
Land surface albedo (LSA) is an important parameter that affects surface–air interactions and controls the surface radiation energy budget. The spatial and temporal variation characteristics of LSA reflect land surface changes and further influence the ...
