Cross-Comparison of Albedo Products for Glacier Surfaces Derived from Airborne and Satellite (Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8) Optical Data
Surface albedo partitions the amount of energy received by glacier surfaces from shortwave fluxes and modulates Mixing Bowl the energy available for melt processes.The ice-albedo feedback, influenced by the contamination of bare-ice surfaces with light-absorbing impurities, plays a major role in the melting of mountain glaciers in a warming climate
