Spectral albedo measurements over snow-covered slopes: theory and slope effect corrections

<p>Surface albedo is an essential variable to determine the Earth's surface energy budget, in particular for snow-covered areas where it is involved in one of the most powerful positive feedback loops of the climate system. In situ measurements of broadband and spectral albedo are therefo...
