Land surface properties - Land surface albedo dynamics
, 2022 The land surface was predominantly darker than normal during 2021 compared to the 2003–2020 baseline in terms of visible broadband white-sky albedo and normal for near-infrared albedo.

New spectral functions of the near-ground albedo derived from aircraft diffraction spectrometer observations [PDF]
, 2014 The airborne spectral observations of the upward and downward irradiances are revisited to investigate the dependence of the near-ground albedo as a function of wavelength in the entire solar spectrum for different surfaces (sand, water, snow) and under ...

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 ...

ESTIMATION OF LAND SURFACE ALBEDO FROM GCOM-C/SGLI SURFACE REFLECTANCE [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021 Abstract. This paper examines algorithms for estimating terrestrial albedo from the products of the Global Change Observation Mission – Climate (GCOM-C) / Second-generation Global Imager (SGLI), which was launched in December 2017 by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.

Inferring past land use-induced changes in surface albedo from satellite observations: a useful tool to evaluate model simulations [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Regional cooling resulting from increases in surface albedo has been identified in several studies as the main biogeophysical effect of past land use-induced land cover changes (LCC) on climate.
