‘Albedo’ is Latin, meaning whiteness. The albedo of a surface is the fraction of the incident sunlight that the surface reflects. Radiation that is not reflected is absorbed by the surface. The absorbed energy raises the surface temperature, evaporates water, melts and sublimates snow and ice...
Albedorefers to the ability of an object to reflect light. The word derives from the Latinalbus, meaning "white." The albedo of an object is measured on a scale from 0 to 1. Low values correlate with dark colors and low reflection. High values correlate with light colors and high reflect...

For 10-Winds, W, and TKE, there are notable differences between Albedo_40 and WRF_Control found outside the region where the albedo was changed, meaning there is evidence for not just a local effect but a regional one as well. Surface winds exit the Hami depression to the south and move...
as the MODerate Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard Terra and Aqua offer much finer spatial and temporal resolution19. Yet visible-infrared wavelengths cannot provide a complete vertical profile of cloud structure, meaning that MODIS-derived cloud properties and associated radiative effects are inher...

In both image colorization studies and this work, the goal is to predict pixel-wise color information from grayscale values. This task is therefore most similar regarding the structure of input and output samples, meaning the prediction of multiple color channels from a single channel. In coloriza...
In Figure 2, thealbedocalculated fromISCCPsatellite data is not without its own problems. A RealClimateanalysis ISCCP reconstruction of thealbedois a purely statistical parameter that has little physical meaning as it does not account for the non-linear relations between cloud and surface properties ...
Soil and vegetation component temperatures in non-isothermal pixels encapsulate more physical meaning and are more applicable than composite temperatures. The component temperatures however are difficult to be obtained from thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing data provided by single view angle observations...
7c,d). Our use of θ in lieu of Ta attempted to account for differences in measurement height, however, the biases and distribution of Δθ are similar to ΔTa at the UNH sites, meaning use of θ in lieu of Ta does not alleviate the measurement height vs. blending height assumption ...
