Studies of temperature phenomena consider illumination, angle of incidence, surface albedo, emissivity and temperature.
These observations established that Earth's energy budget varies markedly due to the effect of clouds, the surface albedo, and other absorbing constituents.
Feedbacks involving the change in surface albedo may enhance or diminish any response, which may be manifested in the regional temperature regime.
The date of snow melt is determined radiometrically as the date when the surface albedo drops below 30%.
And I need the surface albedo at every wavelength.
This, combined with higher surface albedo and lower evapotranspiration of grassland, contributed to a cooler, drier climate.
However, the surface albedo of the crater floor matches the lunar far-side, suggesting that there is no exposed surface ice.
Furthermore, if these particles are deposited in the snow an additional heating effect would occur due to reductions in the surface albedo.
Various factors are known to influence the climate, including ocean currents, surface albedo, greenhouse gases, variations in the solar luminosity, and changes to the planet's orbit.
When deposited, especially on glaciers or on ice in arctic regions, the lower surface albedo can also directly heat the surface.
