| Title: | Clear-sky albedo measurements on a sloping glacier surface: a case study in the Bolivian Andes / Jean Emmanuel Sicart, Pierre Ribstein, Patrick Wagnon, Daniel Brunstein. |
| Author(s): | Sicart, Jean Emmanuel. Ribstein, Pierre. Wagnon, Patrick. Brunstein, Daniel. |
| Date: | 2001. |
| In: | Journal of Geophysical Research. (2001.), Vol. 106(D23) (2001) |
| Abstract: | Presents method for correcting errors in snow albedo measurements from horizontally mounted sensors placed on sloping aspect. Uses slope and aspect distributions found through topographic measurements to correct albedo measurements taken at two points on Zongo Glacier, Bolivia. Precise measurement is necessary to reduce error, with best measurements for daily albedo taken around solar noon. |
