Cities having higher ambient temperatures than rural surroundings (known as the urban heat island effect) could offset some ...

On the other side of the spectrum, an albedo of 1 is a perfect white body, meaning it can reflect away all incoming light. With that in mind, fresh snow has an average albedo of 0.7 to 0.9 ...

The startup is basically two guys from Silicon Valley who have been releasing weather balloons filled with hydrogen gas and ...

Reindeer, often associated with wintry folklore and Arctic landscapes, are emerging as unexpected warriors in the battle ...

temperature reductions attributed to increased pavement albedo (light reflection, rather than absorption) resulted in more than $90 million per year in savings. Reflective pavement also reduces ...

Its solar-weighted reflectivity reached approximately 70% ... the effects of different ground covers’ spectral albedo in its calculation of the bifacial system’s rear-side irradiance.

"I feel really lucky to be able to do my research here." With her new snow research team at Tech, Adolph studies snow albedo, also known as sunlight reflectivity. "All surfaces have an albedo, or how ...

Dartmouth researcher Gabriel Lewis measures reflectivity on Greenland's ice sheet during a 2016 research expedition. According to a Dartmouth research paper, a reduction in fresh snowfall has ...
