There has been a recent surge in interest in the more accurate snow loss estimates for solar
photovoltaic (PV) systems as large-scale deployments move into northern latitudes …

Surface albedo is widely used in climate and environment applications as an important
parameter for controlling the surface energy budget. There is an increasing need for albedo …

Photovoltaic (PV) panel deployment for decarbonization may reduce local terrestrial albedo,
triggering a positive radiative forcing that counteracts the desired negative radiative forcing …

Land surface albedo plays an important role in controlling the surface energy budget and
regulating the biophysical processes of natural dynamics and anthropogenic activities …

The vegetation index-based (VI-based) mixture model is widely used to derive green
fractional vegetation cover (FVC) from remotely sensed data. Two critical parameters of the …

The albedo of the ground surface is an important factor in the cost-effectiveness of a bifacial
photovoltaic (PV) system. To improve the availability of reliable albedo data, datasets of …

Satellite observations of Amazon forests show seasonal and interannual variations, but the
underlying biological processes remain debated. Here we combined radiative transfer …

Urban surface albedo is an essential biophysical variable in the surface energy balance
across all scales, from micro-scale (materials) to the globe, changing with land covers and …

The land surface albedo product of visible infrared imaging radiometer suite (VIIRS) in
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s operational system provides …

Surface albedo is a key parameter in the surface energy balance and has been identified as
a primary essential climate variable (ECV). Variations in surface albedo can be used as a …
