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 ...

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 ...

Atmosphere, 2017 Tower-based data combined with high-resolution satellite products have been used to produce surface albedo at various spatial scales over land. Because tower-based albedo data are available at only a few sites, surface albedos using these combined data ...

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The Role of Surface Albedo Feedback in Climate [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2004 Abstract A coarse resolution coupled ocean–atmosphere simulation in which surface albedo feedback is suppressed by prescribing surface albedo, is compared to one where snow and sea ice anomalies are allowed to affect surface albedo. Canonical CO2-doubling experiments were performed with both models to assess the impact of this feedback on equilibrium ...
