Mapping potential surface contributions to reflected solar radiation

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Communications, 2022
Modifying Earth’s albedo is one of the strategies considered to reduce its energy imbalance and slow global warming by reflecting solar energy. Atmospheric contributions to reflected solar radiation through stratospheric aerosols or cloud brightening ...

ZWIĄZKI SUM PROMIENIOWANIA SŁONECZNEGO Z WIELKOŚCIĄ ZACHMURZENIA NA PODSTAWIE DANYCH Z LAT 1981–2015 ZE STACJI POŁOŻONYCH W POLSKIEJ CZĘŚCI KARPAT [PDF]

open access: yesPrzegląd Geofizyczny, 2023
The presence of cloud cover usually reduces incoming solar radiation. The influence of cloudiness on solar energy reaching Earth’s surface mostly depends on the cloud amount, its genera and other properties. Due to processes of absorption, scattering and

The Study of Nanostructured Solar Selective Coatings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this thesis, nanostructured solar selective coatings used in solar thermal collectors are explored. The nanostructured stainless steel-aluminum nitride (SS-AlN) solar selective coating, a typical solar absorber, has been studied in terms of surface ...

Solar Radiation Partitioning and Surface Albedo Parameterization in the Hinterland of Taklimakan Desert

open access: yesAdvances in Meteorology, 2019
Surface albedo is one of the key parameters of land surface radiation and energy balance. As surface albedoes for visible and near-infrared solar radiation are quite different, solar radiation partitioning is important to parameterize the total surface ...

Estimating solar radiation on sloping surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, 1976
An important parameter necessary for describing the microclimate or heat budget at the earth's surface is the quantity of incident solar radiation. However, measurements of radiation on other than a horizontal surface are not normally available. This article provides a set of tables listing the ratio of total daily solar energy received on a surface of

Surface Albedo Assimilation and Its Impact on Surface Radiation Budget in Beijing

open access: yesAdvances in Meteorology, 2020
Surface albedo is a crucial parameter in land surface radiation budget. As bias exists between the model simulated and observed surface albedo, data assimilation is an important method to improve the simulation results.

Solar radiation at the surface in the Baltic Proper [PDF]

open access: yesOCEANOLOGIA, 2010
Radiation data recorded at 12 sites around the central part of the Baltic Sea during 1996-2000 drawn from the BALTEX (Baltic Sea Experiment) meteorological data archives are used to study the spatio-temporal variability of daily global radiation totals. The annual average daily global radiation total varies from about 10 MJ m-2 at Visby(on Gotland) and

China's dimming and brightening: evidence, causes and hydrological implications [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2014
There is growing evidence that, corresponding to global dimming and brightening, surface solar radiation and sunshine hours over China have undergone decadal fluctuations during the 1960s–2000s.

Solar Radiation Transfer Through a Subarctic Shrub Canopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Much of the low Arctic is covered with shrubs that are partially buried by snow in winter and become exposed during melt. This study presents measurements and modeling of shortwave radiation reflection and extinction by a deciduous shrub canopy emerging ...

Inclusion of Solar Elevation Angle in Land Surface Albedo Parameterization Over Bare Soil Surface

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2017
Land surface albedo is a significant parameter for maintaining a balance in surface energy. It is also an important parameter of bare soil surface albedo for developing land surface process models that accurately reflect diurnal variation characteristics
