Changes in Snow Surface Albedo and Radiative Forcing in the Chilean Central Andes Measured by In Situ and Remote Sensing Data
Snow-covered regions are the main source of reflection of incident shortwave radiation on the Earth’s surface. The deposition of light-absorbing particles on these regions increases the capacity of snow to absorb radiation and decreases surface snow albedo, which intensifies the radiative forcing, l...
