The left map illustrates the cumulative melt days on the Greenland Ice Sheet for the 2025 melt season through June 30. The ...

An international research team led by Aalto University has just published the first large-scale analysis based on long-term ...

Hyperspectral remote sensing data offer unique opportunities for the characterization of the land surface and atmosphere in the spectral domain. However, few studies have been conducted to estimate ...

Exercise is a vital part of your pet’s routine, but it is important to protect them from the extreme heat. During the summer, adjustments may be needed to ...

The influence of topography on land-surface bidirectional reflectance and albedo should be considered in rugged terrain. However, land-surface albedo algorithms neglect topographic effects, leading to ...

Learn more about albedo – the simple measurement that has a vast impact on our planet and influences the climate ...

This dataset uses surface reflectance inputs from MOD09GA v6.1 and includes additional outputs not included in the original version of SPIReS: snow albedo and snow radiative forcing.

Tropical marine clouds contribute one-fifth of Earth’s albedo. But as oceans warm, these clouds are evaporating by about 1.5 percent per decade, taking their reflectivity with them.

In this article, we describe the development of an analytical method based on a combination of acid–base indicators and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The surface pH (pH surf) values of dry ...
