Parametrization of the shortwave flux over high albedo surfaces as a function of cloud thickness and surface albedo

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1984
AbstractA simple method for the calculation of the net shortwave flux at the surface for overcast situations is presented. Explicit account is taken of the effect of cloud optical thickness and multiple reflections between the surface and cloud base. Using simple two‐stream theory, a theoretical form for the flux is proposed, and then results from a ...

Some observations from aircraft of surface albedo and the albedo and absorption of cloud

Archiv für Meteorologie, Geophysik und Bioklimatologie Serie B, 1958
The albedo of sea and land surfaces, and the albedo and absorption of persistent layers of cloud, for solar radiation, have been measured from an aircraft fitted with upward- and downward-facing pyranometers. The lowest, mean, and highest values measured, espressed as fractions of the incident radiation, are

Determination of surface albedo from satellites

Advances in Space Research, 1985
Abstract The dynamical features of the climate system result from the interaction of the atmosphere with the surface. The hope for improving climate prediction, on seasonal and interannual time scales, is based on the premise that slowly varying boundary conditions force well defined predictable patterns of general circulation.

Global land‐surface albedo modelling

International Journal of Climatology, 1993
AbstractThe climatic impact of changes in terrestrial albedo has been studied using numerous climate models, ranging from simple, one‐dimensional energy balance climate models to the most complex, three‐dimensional general circulation models of the atmosphere.
