Varying snow and vegetation signatures of surface-albedo feedback on the Northern Hemisphere land warming

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
Changes in snow and vegetation cover associated with global warming can modify surface albedo (the reflected amount of radiative energy from the sun), therefore modulating the rise of surface temperature that is primarily caused by anthropogenic ...

The albedo-color diversity of transneptunian objects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We analyze albedo data obtained using the Herschel Space Observatory that reveal the existence of two distinct types of surface among midsized transneptunian objects.

Surface albedo of alpine lichen heaths and shrub vegetation

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020
Lichen heaths are declining in abundance while shrubs are increasing their range in alpine and arctic areas due to climate change. This can have a large impact on the surface albedo of these areas. The aim of this article is to quantify the difference in

Development of a high spectral resolution surface albedo product for the ARM Southern Great Plains central facility [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric 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 ...

Spatial Heterogeneity and Temporal Variation in Urban Surface Albedo Detected by High-Resolution Satellite Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Albedo is one of the key parameters in the surface energy balance and it has been altered due to urban expansion, which has significant impacts on local and regional climate.

Spatiotemporal Variability of Land Surface Albedo over the Tibet Plateau from 2001 to 2019

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
As an essential climate variable (ECV), land surface albedo plays an important role in the Earth surface radiation budget and regional or global climate change.

The first cosmic ray albedo proton map of the Moon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
[1] Neutrons emitted from the Moon are produced by the impact of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) within the regolith. GCRs are high-energy particles capable of smashing atomic nuclei in the lunar regolith and producing a shower of energetic protons, neutrons

Areal-Averaged Spectral Surface Albedo in an Atlantic Coastal Area: Estimation from Ground-Based Transmission

open access: yesAtmosphere, 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 ...

Variation in Albedo and Its Relationship With Surface Dust at Urumqi Glacier No. 1 in Tien Shan, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Surface albedo is an important driver of surface processes that promote glacier melting and is a key variable influencing glacier surface melt. Despite much focus in the literature on variations in albedo and its influence on snow surfaces, little ...

Albedo heterogeneity on the surface of (1943) Anteros [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We have investigated the effect of rotation on the polarization of scattered light for the near-Earth asteroid (1943) Anteros using the Dual Beam Imaging Polarimeter on the University of Hawaii's 2.2 m telescope.
