We present a computationally simple, theoretically based parameterization for the
broadband albedo of snow and ice that can accurately reproduce the theoretical broadband …

▪ Abstract Models of processes in the alpine snow cover fundamentally depend on the
spatial distribution of the surface energy balance over areas where topographic variability …

This report is the first complete assessment of the science of climate change since Working
Group I (WGI) of the IPCC produced its second report Climate Change 1995: The Science of …

Land surface broadband albedo is a critical variable for many scientific applications. High-
resolution narrowband satellite observations contain important information that enables us …

A coarse resolution coupled ocean–atmosphere simulation in which surface albedo
feedback is suppressed by prescribing surface albedo, is compared to one where snow and …

In the first paper of this series, we developed narrowband to broadband albedo conversion
formulae for a series of sensors. These formulae were determined based on extensive …

We describe and validate an automated model that retrieves subpixel snow-covered area
and effective grain size from Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data …

Satellite remote sensing is a convenient tool for studying snow and glacier ice, allowing us
to conduct research over large and otherwise inaccessible areas. This paper reviews …

The physical interpretation of simultaneous multiangle observations represents a relatively
new approach to remote sensing of terrestrial geophysical and biophysical parameters …

Airborne and satellite remote sensing is the only practical approach for deriving a wide area,
regional assessment of glacier mass balance. A number of remote sensing approaches are …
