An analysis of short-term albedo variations at Haut Glacier D'Arolla, Switzerland / Ben W. Brock.
Title: | An analysis of short-term albedo variations at Haut Glacier D'Arolla, Switzerland / Ben W. Brock. |
Author(s): | Brock, Ben W. |
Date: | 2004. |
In: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. (2004.), Vol. 86A(1) (2004) |
Abstract: | Analyses ten-minute glacier albedo variations recorded over 11 days in 1999 ablation season. Measures and quantifies influences of cloud cover and solar zenith angle variations, and develops method of calculating albedo variation to account for their effects. Discusses incorporation into numerical energy balance models, suggesting melt rates may be overestimated if no correction is made for albedo increase under cloudy conditions. Identifies other causes of albedo variation, such as removal of fine debris on glacier surface by intense rainfall. Discusses implications for satellite-derived albedo measurements. |
