Reflectance is the ratio of incident luminous flux upon a surface which is reradiated in the visual spectrum. ... Albedo is another Term for Reflectance. ... Diffuse reflectance is the ratio of the flux reradiated by diffuse reflection (from a lambertian surface).

Surface reflectance values exhibit large geographic variation (Figure 1). Mean annual albedo values differ considerably between the equator and the poles, largely due to the presence of snow and ice-covered surfaces along with cloudy skies in high latitudes, which greatly increases albedo values in those areas.

The BRDF, albedo and nadir surface reflectance of each pixel of the global land surface is modeled at a spatial resolution of 1 km by inverting multidate, multiangular, cloud-free, atmospherically corrected, surface reflectance observations acquired by MODIS in a 16-day period (MODIS orbital double repeat cycle).

Albedo, or solar reflectance, is a measure of a material's ability to reflect sunlight. ... Albedo includes the visible, infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths on a scale of 0 to 1. An albedo value of 0.0 indicates that the surface absorbs all solar radiation, and a 1.0 albedo value ... Specification Emissivity Reflectance...

The cloud albedo usually increases either when cloud water increases or when cloud particles change from the ice-phase to the water-phase. These changes are likely to occur under global warming. Because the increase in cloud albedo reduces the increase in surface temperature, this is a negative feedback.

Reflectivity of the surface is often described by the term surface albedo. The Earth's average albedo, reflectance from both the atmosphere and the surface, is about 30%.
