Albedo changes ? Surface surveillance from satellites

Climatic Change, 1980
Natural changes in surface (and particularly land surface) albedo are described in terms of their impact upon climate. Emphasis is placed upon the importance of the regional or ‘synoptic’ scale view of albedo change and upon a methodology of monitoring such variations using current satellite surveillance.

Tropical Deforestation: Albedo and the Surface-Energy Balance

Climatic Change, 1991
Recent micrometeorological measurements for Amazonian rainforest are reviewed, emphasising those aspects of the radiation and heat balance which are likely to change with deforestation. The possible consequences of such deforestation are considered by examining the sensitivity of the surface energy balance to changes in those parameters which would be ...

Albedos of natural surfaces in Barbados

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1967
AbstractIn Barbados, albedo values for bare soil surfaces varied according to colour, the moisture condition of the surface layer, the presence of limestone concretions and the roughness of the surface. The albedo of sugar cane increased with crop height until the leaves reached complete cover.

Variability of Surface Temperature and Albedo

2010
Results from the analysis of the spatial and temporal variability of surface temperature, including that of liquid water at high latitudes, are presented using mainly NOAA/AVHRR data from 1981 to 2008. The average surface temperature of the region north of the Arctic Circle is shown to be increasing at 0.7°C/decade while that south of the Antarctic ...

Aircraft Measurements of Albedo and Absorption of Stratus Clouds, and Surface Albedos

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1968
Abstract Aircraft measurements of the albedo of stratus clouds were made, with the results suggesting, on occasion, that the liquid water content of the cloud has a stronger influence than the cloud thickness on the albedo. The mean cloud absorption was found to be 4% of the incident downward flux.
