0 the proportion of the total light striking the surface of an object, such as a planet, which is reflected from that surface -- albedo
the Earth’s planetary albedo.
Effective albedo for gap feeding upper pinch in doublepinch at peak temperature !
The effect of perceived surface orientation on perceived surface albedo in binocularly viewed scenes.
This energy balance depends on, among other factors, the planetary albedo.
At the same time, the albedo differences themselves are likely to be related to differences in surface mineralogy and dust coverage.
However, it is important to note that the global albedo pattern can change within only a few decades.
The principal factors influencing soil temperatures are surface albedo and surface cooling.
The amount of ice and snow is larger when the temperature is lower, so the lower the temperature the higher albedo.
The figure shows the zonal-mean distribution, so the albedo and thermal inertia have been zonally averaged in the calculation.
