Development of Land Surface Albedo Algorithm for the GK-2A/AMI Instrument [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2020 The Korea Meteorological Administration successfully launched Korea’s next-generation meteorological satellite, Geo-KOMPSAT-2A (GK-2A), on 5 December 2018. It belongs to the new generation of GEO (Geostationary Elevation Orbit) satellite which offers capabilities to disseminate high spatial- (0.5–2 km) and high temporal-resolution (10 min) observations

Historical land surface albedo changes in China
, 2021 Land surface albedo is a critical parameter of the Earth’s energy budget, and has been greatly altered by climate change and human activities. The recent changes in land surface albedo can be monitored by satellite observations.

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.

Improved parameterization of snow albedo in Noah coupled with Weather Research and Forecasting: applicability to snow estimates for the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 Snow albedo is important to the land surface energy balance and to the water cycle. During snowfall and subsequent snowmelt, snow albedo is usually parameterized as functions of snow-related variables in land surface models.

Can uncertainties in sea ice albedo reconcile patterns of data-model discord for the Pliocene and 20th/21st centuries? [PDF]
, 2014 General Circulation Model simulations of the mid-Pliocene warm period (mPWP, 3.264 to 3.025 Myr ago) currently underestimate the level of warming that proxy data suggest existed at high latitudes, with discrepancies of up to 11°C for sea surface ...
