Land surface albedo is a critical factor in understanding the Earth's energy balance and climate dynamics. It refers to the fraction of solar energy that is reflected by the Earth's surface ...
2023 set a number of alarming new records. The global mean temperature also rose to nearly 1.5 degrees Celsius above the preindustrial level, another record. Seeking to identify the causes of this ...
The Antarctic ice sheet covers 8.3% of the Earth’s surface and is the largest store ... In doing so, they keep the Earth cool (this is called the albedo effect). But as we lose those vast ...
In addition, experiments to evaluate the uncertainty associated with different albedo measurement conditions were carried out. They measured the surface reflectance of five different ground ...
