We used data from the Surface Radiation Budget Network (SURFRAD ... We also downloaded satellite albedo data from the Prospect tool of solar irradiance data company SolarGIS for the seven locations.

It's extremely easy to get sunburned while you're skiing and snowboarding in the mountains, but have you ever wondered why?

“The albedo is a key input parameter for bifacial PV energy yield estimations, but best practices are not yet completely defined, and proper procedures for albedo measurement are still under debate.

Thomas Rackow from the ECMWF. Planetary albedo describes the percentage of incoming solar radiation that is reflected back into space after all interactions with the atmosphere and the surface of ...

In December 2023, the persistent pattern of high solar radiation absorption continued ... solar variability and albedo changes to mention a few. Furthermore, the computed annual mean absorption ...

In polar regions, snow and ice cover reflect much more of the solar radiation, giving a high albedo effect. For six months the Poles receive no solar energy due to the Earth’s orbit and tilt.
