Dominance of grain size impacts on seasonal snow albedo at deforested sites in New Hampshire [PDF]

, 2017
Snow cover serves as a major control on the surface energy budget in temperate regions due to its high reflectivity compared to underlying surfaces.

A New Methodology for Estimating Surface Albedo in Heterogeneous Areas from Satellite Imagery

Applied Sciences, 2023
Precise mapping and continuous monitoring of fine-scale surface albedo are indispensable for assessing and optimizing renewable energy sources. Understanding the variations in surface reflectivity is crucial in capturing the full potential of renewable ...

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

, 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.

Direct measurement of the size of 2003 UB313 from the Hubble Space Telescope [PDF]

, 2006
We have used the Hubble Space Telescope to directly measure the angular size of the large Kuiper belt object 2003 UB313. By carefully calibrating the point spread function of a nearby field star, we measure the size of 2003 UB313 to be 34.3$\pm$1.4 ...

Validation of Space-Based Albedo Products from Upscaled Tower-Based Measurements Over Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Landscapes

Remote Sensing, 2020
Surface albedo is a fundamental radiative parameter as it controls the Earth’s energy budget and directly affects the Earth’s climate. Satellite observations have long been used to capture the temporal and spatial variations of surface albedo

Mars Express measurements of surface albedo changes over 2004 - 2010 [PDF]

, 2015
The pervasive Mars dust is continually transported between the surface and the atmosphere. When on the surface, dust increases the albedo of darker underlying rocks and regolith, which modifies climate energy balance and must be quantified.

Re-understanding of land surface albedo and related terms in satellite-based retrievals

Big Earth Data, 2020
Land surface albedo is a critical variable in determining surface energy balance, and regulating climate and ecosystem processes through feedback mechanisms. Therefore, climatic modelers and radiative monitoring require accurate estimates of land surface

The Short Rotation Period of Nereid

, 2003
We determine the period, p = 11.52 \pm 0.14 h, and a light curve peak-to-peak amplitude, a = 0.029 \pm 0.003 magnitudes, of the Neptunian irregular satellite Nereid. If the light curve variation is due to albedo variations across the surface, rather than

Ultraviolet and visible photometry of asteroid (21) Lutetia using the Hubble Space Telescope [PDF]

, 2010
The asteroid (21) Lutetia is the target of a planned close encounter by the Rosetta spacecraft in July 2010. To prepare for that flyby, Lutetia has been extensively observed by a variety of astronomical facilities. We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)

Beyond Earth: Resilience of Quasi‐2D Perovskite Solar Cells in Space

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In the article (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202520433), Christoph Putz and co‐workers demonstrate rigid quasi‐2D perovskite solar cells operating in low Earth orbit, delivering stable power for more than 100 days under real‐space conditions. In‐orbit performance is correlated with extensive ground‐based thermal and proton‐irradiation studies on rigid and ...
