environmental acidification. While these important roles are recognized, there remain significant gaps in understanding the role of aerosols in these processes. An important role of isotopic analysis is for source identification, transport, and mechanistic definition of in situ chemical transformational ...
Definition The albedo of a surface is a measure of its reflectivity. The albedos of planetary surfaces depend on their compositions and physical properties. Two types of albedo are often used in connection with planetary surfaces. One is the geometric albedo in a particular photometric band (...
Definition Albedo: The fraction of incident solar radiative energy flux, or irradiance, reflected and scattered upward from a surface integrated over the solar spectrum from 300 to approximately 3,000 nm. Spectral Albedo. The ratio of upwelling to incident irradiance versus the wavelegth of the ...
The replacement of natural lands with urban structures has multiple environmental consequences, yet little is known about the magnitude and extent of albedo-induced warming contributions from urbanization at the global scale in the past and future. Here,
According to its definition (eq. (3)), the strength of TEM is determined by the mean springtime SCF, Δαsnow and ΔTa. Since ΔTa is more or less similar in all four datasets and Δαsnow is overestimated by ERA5 and CMIP models, the underestimation of TEM suggests that springtime ...
Definition Albedo/color dichotomy occurs on a planetary surface, which is characterized by two spectrally different terrains of regional to hemispheric/global scale.Synonyms Albedo asymmetry; Spectral dichotomy Category A type of albedo feature Formation Albedo dichotomy may be related to partial coverage ...
CDRs are gaining prominent importance in the field of climate science. They are defined to be a continuous time series of important climate variables, that are relevant for determining the climate variability. CDRs are also found important in several environmental research applications involving agricul...
