Downscaling Surface Albedo to Higher Spatial Resolutions With an Image Super-Resolution Approach and PROBA-V Satellite Images [PDF]

, 2023
For bifacial solar photovoltaic panels, surface albedo plays a crucial role in estimating the radiant energy. Since land surfaces are heterogeneous, the actual albedo of the surface where the solar photovoltaic panel is placed can vary widely and its ...

Review of Land Surface Albedo: Variance Characteristics, Climate Effect and Management Strategy

Remote Sensing, 2022
Surface albedo plays a controlling role in the surface energy budget, and albedo-induced radiative forcing has a significant impact on climate and environmental change (e.g., global warming, snow and ice melt, soil and vegetation degradation, and urban ...

Surface Albedo Assimilation and Its Impact on Surface Radiation Budget in Beijing

Advances in Meteorology, 2020
Surface albedo is a crucial parameter in land surface radiation budget. As bias exists between the model simulated and observed surface albedo, data assimilation is an important method to improve the simulation results.

Assimilation of Satellite-Observed Snow Albedo in a Land Surface Model

Journal of Hydrometeorology, 2012
Abstract This study assesses the impact of assimilating satellite-observed snow albedo on the Noah land surface model (LSM)-simulated fluxes and snow properties. A direct insertion technique is developed to assimilate snow albedo into Noah and is applied to three intensive study areas in North Park (Colorado) that are part of the 2002/03

Impact of Surface Albedo Assimilation on Snow Estimation

Remote Sensing, 2020
Surface albedo has a significant impact in determining the amount of available net radiation at the surface and the evolution of surface water and energy budget components. The snow accumulation and timing of melt, in particular, are directly impacted by

Observational estimates of radiative forcing due to land use change in southwest Australia

, 2007
Radiative forcing associated with land use change is largely derived from global circulation models (GCM), and the accuracy of these estimates depends on the robustness of the vegetation characterization used in the GCMs.

Airborne measurements of areal spectral surface albedo over different sea and land surfaces [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2004
Airborne measurements of the ratio of spectral upward and downward irradiances (so‐called spectral albedo) are used to derive the areal spectral surface albedo in the wavelength range from 330 to 1670 nm. The data were collected over different sea and land surfaces in cloudless atmospheric conditions during three field campaigns.
