Estimating the daily mean blue-sky land surface albedo on the Tibetan Plateau using convolutional neural network

International Journal of Digital Earth
Surface albedo is a critical indicator of Earth’s ability to reflect solar radiation, influencing energy balance and climate dynamics. Research on blue-sky albedo on the Tibetan Plateau has often focused on clear-sky conditions, overlooking seasonal snow

Detection of Particulate Matter With Lock‐In Thermography

CleanMat, EarlyView.
Accurate quantification of black carbon is essential due to its significant impact on climate, air quality, and human health. Lock‐in thermography (LIT), as implemented by NanoLockin's instrument Calorsito, offers a sensitive, scalable, and reproducible approach for detecting black carbon on filter substrates.

Nanostructured Optical Superabsorbers from Carbon Nanotube Forest for Heat Management Using Environmental Blackbody Radiation from the Visible to Mid‐Infrared

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Our computational model of the optical absorption from multiwalled carbon nanotubes suggests the optical absorption depends strongly on the in‐plane electrical conductivity, and weakly on the through‐plane conductivity. Such strong absorption enables solar‐to‐thermal conversion for heat scavenging in cold climates and radiative cooling in hot climates,

Observations and modeling of areal surface albedo and surface types in the Arctic [PDF]

The Cryosphere
An accurate representation of the annual evolution of surface albedo of the Arctic Ocean, especially during the melting period, is crucial to obtain reliable climate model predictions in the Arctic. Therefore, the output of the surface albedo scheme of a

Functional Bread From Bambara Groundnut and Orange Peel Attenuates Hyperglycemia and Oxidative Stress in a High‐Fat Diet/Streptozotocin‐Induced Type 2 Diabetes Rat Model

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This study evaluated Bambara groundnut–wheat composite bread fortified with orange peel in diabetic rats. Diets significantly lowered blood glucose, inhibited α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, and boosted antioxidant enzymes compared to controls. Results emphasize BG‐based functional foods' potential to help manage type 2 diabetes through regulation of ...

Changing Regional Land Surface Albedos Alter the Planetary Albedo During the Twenty‐First Century

Earth's Future
The top‐of‐atmosphere (TOA) albedo controls the amount of solar energy absorbed by Earth and is influenced by the reflectivity of both the atmosphere and surface.

Competing effects of surface albedo and orographic elevated heating on regional climate

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
All else being equal, a given atmospheric pressure level is thought to be warmer over a plateau than over surrounding nonelevated terrain because of orographic “elevated heating.” However, elevated surfaces are also typically brighter due to reduced ...

Evaluating Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) Calculation Methods and Quantifying Climate‐Driven Change in Irrigation Demand Across Nepal's Terai

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Framework illustrating the comparison of different reference evapotranspiration (ETo) estimation methods and the integration of baseline ETo, crop water requirement (CWR), and irrigation water requirement (IWR) calculations with downscaled CMIP6 climate projections under SSP245 and SSP585 scenarios for the mid‐century and late‐century periods across ...

Observation of Albedo at the Surface of Pavement

Journal of the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice, 1973
Albedo of the surface of pavement is closely related to behavior of the surface temperature of pavement. Therefore, it is an effective factor for a theoretical analysis of the surface temperature. The observation of albedo was made at the surface of a dense grade asphalt concrete pavement in Ebetsu-shi, Hokkaido during the period from November 5 to ...

Fire‐induced shifts in activity patterns of predators and prey in the Brazilian Pantanal

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using camera trap data, we observed that 5 of 6 prey species showed statistically significant changes in temporal activity patterns, while jaguars were the only predator species to adjust activity when comparing pre‐fire and post‐fire periods in an isolated rocky formation in the Pantanal region.
