In this paper the influence of 3D effect on snow reflection function (SRF) and albedo is
studied in the framework of the stochastic radiative transfer theory. In particular, the …

The asymptotic radiative transfer theory is used to derive the analytical approximation for the
broadband albedo of pure and polluted snow surfaces. The technique for the determination …

Light-absorbing particles (LAPs) such as black carbon or mineral dust are some of the main
drivers of snow radiative transfer. Small amounts of LAPs significantly increase snowpack …

The amplification of UV irradiance at the Earth's surface that is due to successive reflections
between the snow-covered ground and the scattering atmosphere is analyzed by a method …

Snow is a fundamental component of the climate system. It is also an important part of the
planet's hydrological cycle. Accordingly, the investigation of its light scattering properties is …

A simple analytical equation for the snow albedo as the function of snow grain size, soot
concentration, and soot mass absorption coefficient is presented. This simple equation can …

Radiative transfer models, using non-spherical snow particles, were developed to examine
the effect of snow grain shape on the angular distribution of snow reflectance. To represent …

The spectral albedo of dry, vertically heterogeneous snow is simulated using a multilayer
discrete ordinate method radiative transfer code, with single snow grain–scattering …

Seasonal snow covers large parts of the northern hemisphere annually. It can change the
albedo of the surfaces from dark to bright overnight (and back), causing significant climate …

High-accuracy measurements of snow Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function
(BRDF) were performed for four natural snow samples with a spectrogonio-radiometer in the …
