INTRODUCTION The fraction of the incident radiation that is reflected from the
surface is called the albedo. Albedo plays a major role in the energy balance of
the earth's ...
The capacity of a surface to reflect the sun's en- ergy is called its albedo; a
surface with a high albedo has a high percentage of reflection. The more solar
energy that is reflected back into space by Earth's surface, the less that is
absorbed for ...

The Encyclopedia of World Climatology
At higher latitudes the seasonal or permanent occurrence of snow cover and sea
ice raise average albedos, which are in excess of 60% in the polar regions. The
latitudinal patterns of planetary albedo are less extreme than the surface trends.

Climate Processes and Climate Sensitivity
assumption that the cloudy sky albedo is independent of surface conditions is
probably small and can justifiably be ignored at the current level of approximation
. Support for this assertion can be found in radiative transfer calculations for
clouds ...

The Climate Near the Ground
He also reported a smooth snow surface albedo between 70-76% and that of an
identical but knobby snow surface to be between 60 and 65%. The longwave
reflectance and shortwave albedo of snow are discussed further in Section 24.
