Where represents Landsat bands 1,3,4,5, and 7. When an area's albedo changes due to snowfall, a snowtemperature feedback results. The amount of cloud cover also affects albedo because clouds reflect heat and light, and they also have a low albedo. In most cases, LST is a mixture of vegetation and bare soil temperatures. Less expensive devices that measure light intensity (measuring in the unit lux) can be used as an approximation of solar radiation for small-scale experiments. Note that Landsat band 2 (green) is not used. This surface would reflect 100% of incoming light and absorb 0%. White surfaces, on the other hand, reflect back almost all light and heat, so they have a high albedo (near one) and are cooler. Deciduous trees have an albedo value of about 0.15 to 0.18 whereas coniferous trees have a value of about 0.09 to 0.15. The albedo of areas on Earth will affect the amount of solar energy absorbed. In almost every instance I've seen, the planetary albedo is just calculated as FSUT / SOLIN, the shortwave that leaves the top of the model divided by the insolation. Note that white caps on waves look white (and have high albedo) because the water is foamed up, so there are many superimposed bubble surfaces which reflect, adding up their reflectivities. If the surface is rough at the wavelength scale or there is significant penetration into the regolith, there will be a significant SC component in the echo caused by multiple scattering. O A value of 1 means the surface is a "perfect reflector" that reflects all incoming energy. She has over 10 years of experience developing STEM curriculum and teaching physics, engineering, and biology. The ice-albedo feedback causes increased ocean warming, exacerbating the rate of ice melting. can be put into LoggerPro and used to calculate the orbital speed, acceleration and the period using the .
