Estimating of Surface Albedo in Geomorphological Facies of Desert Regions of the Yazd-Ardakan Plain Using Landsat 8 Data [PDF]

open access: yesمدیریت بیابان, 2019
Surface albedo is one of the key controlling geophysical parameters in surface energy budget research and environmental and climate studies. As an efficient tool for monitoring earth surfaces, remote sensing is widely used for estimating albedo over ...

Influence of local surface albedo variability and ice crystal shape on passive remote sensing of thin cirrus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Airborne measurements of solar spectral radiance reflected by cirrus are performed with the HALO-Solar Radiation (HALO-SR) instrument onboard the High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft (HALO) in November 2010.

Sensitivity of Coarse‐Scale Snow‐Free Land Surface Shortwave Albedo to Topography

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2019
As a widespread landscape, rugged terrain significantly distorts the land surface albedo. Simply neglecting the topographic effects in the land surface albedo modeling and retrievals can lead to large biases and uncertainties over rugged terrain.

Albedo distribution in Lutzow-Holm Bay and its neighborhood

open access: yesAntarctic Record, 1997
A method has been developed for estimating the filtered narrow band surface albedo with NOAA/AVHRR data, and has been applied to analysis of the surface albedo distribution in Lutzow-Holm Bay and its neighborhood, Antarctica, in 1990.

An investigation of a super-Earth exoplanet with a greenhouse-gas atmosphere using a general circulation model

open access: yes, 2012
We use the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model (GCM) dynamical core, in conjunction with a Newtonian relaxation scheme that relaxes to a gray, analytical solution of the radiative transfer equation, to simulate a tidally ...

Ocean surface albedo in AFES

open access: yesJAMSTEC Report of Research and Development, 2007
The albedo of the ocean surface is of primary importance in the radiative energy balance of the Earth. It takes the smallest value of close to 0 over ocean water and the largest value of nearly 1 over snow-covered sea ice. The albedo of ocean water is determined by of the solar zenith angle, slope of the surface and optical properties of the atmosphere

Forbs in Viking lands: the effect of disturbing dominant graminoids on recruitment in tundra grasslands

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Grasslands, by definition, are dominated by graminoids. Nevertheless, forbs also make up a substantial part of vascular plant diversity in grasslands and are important resources of mammalian herbivores. However, forb recruitment is constrained by successful dominant graminoids, limiting access to safe sites for germination.

The effects of atmospheric dust on observations of Martian surface albedo [PDF]

open access: yes
The Mariner 9 and Viking missions provided abundant evidence that aeolian processes are active over much of surface of Mars. A radiative transfer model was developed which allows the effects of atmospheric dust loading and variable surface albedo to be ...

Thermal Shadows and Compositional Structure in Comet Nuclei

open access: yes, 2011
We use a fully 3-dimensional thermal evolution model to examine the effects of a non-uniform surface albedo on the subsurface thermal structure of comets.

The impact of increasing urban surface albedo on outdoor summer thermal comfort within a university campus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The impact of increasing urban surface albedo on outdoor thermal comfort was studied in two phases: Firstly, the thermal conditions of three locations with different ground surface materials were compared.
