A Method for Retrieving Daily Land Surface Albedo from Space at 30-m Resolution
Remote Sensing, 2015 Land surface albedo data with high spatio-temporal resolution are increasingly important for scientific studies addressing spatially and/or temporally small-scale phenomena, such as urban heat islands and urban land surface energy balance.

Validation of MISR land surface broadband albedo
International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2008 Land surface broadband albedo is a critical variable for many scientific applications. Due to the scarcity of spectral albedo measurements of the Earth's surface environments, it is useful to construct broadband albedo from spectral albedo data obtained ...

Re-understanding of land surface albedo and related terms in satellite-based retrievals
Big Earth Data, 2020 Land surface albedo is a critical variable in determining surface energy balance, and regulating climate and ecosystem processes through feedback mechanisms. Therefore, climatic modelers and radiative monitoring require accurate estimates of land surface

Land Cover, Rainfall and Land-Surface Albedo in West Africa
Climatic Change, 2002 Land surface albedo is an important variable in General Circulation Models (GCMs). When land cover is modified through anthropogenic land use, changes in land-surface albedo may produce atmospheric subsidence and reduction of rainfall.

The variation analysis of land surface albedo in Beijing in recent ten years
2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2012 The surface land albedo is an important parameter of the energy balance. It is very significant for the urban micro-climate and environment to research the variation and analysis of land surface albedo. In this paper, the variation of land surface albedo

Effective UV surface albedo of seasonally snow-covered lands [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2007 At ultraviolet wavelengths the albedo of most natural surfaces is small with the striking exception of snow and ice. Therefore, snow cover is a major challenge for various applications based on radiative transfer modelling.
