Albedo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The albedo of an object is the extent to which it diffusely reflects light from light sources such as the Sun. It is therefore a more specific form of the term reflectivity. Albedo is defined as the...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo
albedo, high; A property of a surface that describes its ability to reflect and reject heat. High albedo surfaces have both a light color (high solar reflectance) and a high emmittance (can reject heat back to the environment).

Title:; Near-ground cooling efficacies of trees and high-albedo surfaces ... If an object has typical albedo of 0.3, increasing the ground albedo by 0.25 perturbs the object's surface temperature by -1 to +2 K. Comparing a tree's canopy-to-air convection to the reduction in ground-to-air convection induced by tree shading...

Simulations by the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) and 15 other climate models suggest that climate sensitivity is linked to continental middle to high latitude present-day springtime albedo. We compare 1 × CO2 and 2 × CO2 CAM simulations against similar simulations with snow cover fraction purposely increased.

In this paper weshowhow information recorded by one of the other instruments commonly carried, a high-resolution imaging camera, can be combined with the laser altimeter measurements to give a high resolution estimate both of the surface geometry and its reflectance properties.

The low-calorie diet is so 20th century – follow the high-albedo diet if you want to be in with the latest trend. You could help save the planet from climate change and will be able to keep eating everything you do normally. ... Snow cover over Canada, USA, Europe & Asia is highest since 1962, think of that reflective surface. Ronnie...
