A statistics-based temporal filter algorithm to map spatiotemporally continuous shortwave albedo from MODIS data [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Land-surface albedo plays a critical role in the earth's radiant energy budget studies. Satellite remote sensing provides an effective approach to acquire regional and global albedo observations.

Identifying Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of Land Surface Albedo Using GF-1 WFV Data
Remote Sensing, 2021 Land surface albedo (LSA) is an important parameter that affects surface–air interactions and controls the surface radiation energy budget. The spatial and temporal variation characteristics of LSA reflect land surface changes and further influence the ...

New spectral functions of the near-ground albedo derived from aircraft diffraction spectrometer observations [PDF]
, 2014 The airborne spectral observations of the upward and downward irradiances are revisited to investigate the dependence of the near-ground albedo as a function of wavelength in the entire solar spectrum for different surfaces (sand, water, snow) and under ...

Development of a high spectral resolution surface albedo product for the ARM Southern Great Plains central facility [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2011 We present a method for identifying dominant surface type and estimating high spectral resolution surface albedo at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) facility at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) site in Oklahoma for use in radiative transfer ...

Can uncertainties in sea ice albedo reconcile patterns of data-model discord for the Pliocene and 20th/21st centuries? [PDF]
, 2014 General Circulation Model simulations of the mid-Pliocene warm period (mPWP, 3.264 to 3.025 Myr ago) currently underestimate the level of warming that proxy data suggest existed at high latitudes, with discrepancies of up to 11°C for sea surface ...

A Note on the Albedo of Surfaces [PDF]
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1972 Abstract The albedo of a variety of surfaces was measured for a total of approximately 400 hr with Middleton solari-albedometers whose outputs were recorded by a computer-controlled data acquisition system. The albedo for each surface was expressed as a function of solar zenith angle, with strong relationships between the two being obtained for most ...
