Impact of Surface Albedo Assimilation on Snow Estimation

open access: yesRemote 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

An Investigation of Ice Surface Albedo and Its Influence on the High-Altitude Lakes of the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Most high-altitude lakes are more sensitive to global warming than the regional atmosphere. However, most existing climate models produce unrealistic surface temperatures on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) lakes, and few studies have focused on the influence of

SURFACE ALBEDO AND SPECTRAL VARIABILITY OF CERES [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016
ABSTRACT Previous observations suggested that Ceres has active, but possibly sporadic, water outgassing as well as possibly varying spectral characteristics over a timescale of months. We used all available data of Ceres collected in the past three decades from the ground and the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as the newly acquired ...

Instant Response of Tibetan Plateau Surface Albedo to Snow Coverage and Depth in Snow Season

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Tibetan Plateau (TP) snow cover is featured by sub‐seasonal changes, affecting weather and climate in surrounding and downstream areas. Previous studies emphasize the effect of background atmospheric circulation on rapid changes of TP snow cover as a ...

Monitoring glacier albedo as a proxy to derive summer and annual surface mass balances from optical remote-sensing data [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2018
Less than 0.25 % of the 250 000 glaciers inventoried in the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI V.5) are currently monitored with in situ measurements of surface mass balance.

Land Surface Albedo Estimation from Chinese HJ Satellite Data Based on the Direct Estimation Approach

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2015
Monitoring surface albedo at medium-to-fine resolution (<100 m) has become increasingly important for medium-to-fine scale applications and coarse-resolution data evaluation.

Unraveling driving forces explaining significant reduction in satellite-inferred Arctic surface albedo since the 1980s. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019
Significance Changes in snow cover, sea ice cover, and surface albedo over the Arctic are important for local warming and midlatitude climate change. Here, multiple datasets are used to show that observed reductions in the Arctic surface albedo in recent

Global Daily Actual and Snow‐Free Blue‐Sky Land Surface Albedo Climatology From 20‐Year MODIS Products

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2022
Land surface albedo plays a critical role in climate, hydrological and biogeochemical modeling, and weather forecasting. It is often assigned in models and satellite retrievals by albedo climatology look‐up tables using land cover type and other ...

Landsat Snow-Free Surface Albedo Estimation Over Sloping Terrain: Algorithm Development and Evaluation

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2022
Surface albedo plays a key role in global climate modeling as a factor controlling the energy budget. Satellite observations were utilized to estimate surface albedo at global and regional scales with good precision over flat areas.

Influence of Land Use Change on the Surface Albedo and Climate Change in the Qinling-Daba Mountains

open access: yesSustainability, 2021
Land use changes affect the surface radiative budget and energy balance by changing the surface albedo, which generates radiative forcing, impacting the regional and global climate.
