How Surface Radiation on Forested Snowpack Changes across a Latitudinal Gradient
Hydrology, 2019 Radiation is the major driver of snowmelt, and, hence, its estimation is critically important. Net radiation reaching the forest floor is influenced by vegetation density. Previous studies in mid-latitude conifer forests have confirmed that net radiation

Sunlight, clouds, sea ice, albedo, and the radiative budget: the umbrella versus the blanket [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The surface radiation budget of the Arctic Ocean plays a central role in summer ice melt and is governed by clouds and surface albedo. I calculated the net radiation flux for a range of albedos under sunny and cloudy skies and determined the break ...

Components of near-surface energy balance derived from satellite soundings – Part 1: Noontime net available energy [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 This paper introduces a relatively simple method for recovering global fields of monthly midday (13:30 LT) near-surface net available energy (the sum of the sensible and latent heat flux or the difference between the net radiation and surface heat ...

Radiation balance of coffee hedgerows Balanço de radiação de renques de cafeeiros
Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2008 The radiation balance of hedgerows is an important variable in studies of mass and energy exchanges between parcial ground cover crops and the atmosphere. This paper describes a device with eight net radiometers encompassing the plants of a hedgerow. The
