The other big factor is the reflectance of snow, known as albedo. Albedo is defined as the ratio between how much light a material reflects -- to the amount of incoming light. We give different ...

The Swiss cheese holes are due to something called the albedo effect. When light falls on a surface, two things can happen. The light (and the energy it carries) can be absorbed by the surface ...

Using remote sensing, researchers from China and the United States have quantified the effects of solar farms (SFs) on albedo, vegetation, and land surface temperature (LST). Namely, they have ...

In doing so, they keep the Earth cool (this is called the albedo effect). But as we lose those vast white surfaces, less of the Sun’s light is reflected away, so the Earth is likely to warm.

This increases the albedo of the cloud, resulting in enhanced reflection and a cooling effect, termed the cloud albedo effect (Twomey 1977; Figure 3b). Smaller drops require longer growth times to ...
