FARGO — Albedo is a word describing the portion of the sun’s radiation reflected from a surface. Most solar radiation passes directly through air with relatively little absorption. The reason ...

When you're out in the snow, a lot of the solar radiation your skin receives is reflected from the snow itself. The amount of radiation reflected is known as albedo. Having lots of fresh snow ...

2023 set a number of alarming new records. The global mean temperature also rose to nearly 1.5 degrees Celsius above the preindustrial level, another record. Seeking to identify the causes of this ...

The performance of photovoltaic systems (PV) in northern conditions has been measured at the University of Oulu, Finland, ...

The scientists utilized an artificial high-albedo, UV-resistant reflector ... is strictly dependent on the location, with solar radiation levels playing a key role. They also recommended avoiding ...

In addition, BC and other absorbing aerosols deposited on snow or ice surfaces may reduce the surface albedo, leading to reduced reflectance of solar radiation, and hence a heating effect (Hansen ...
