“Globally, there was a significant decrease in albedo of -0.016 for most SF samples ... “Since there are different types of solar energy technologies, PV and CSP, we searched for pairs ...

The results can also be utilized, for example, in urban planning, zoning and construction." Researchers identify strange weather phenomenon that could help generate power: 'It indeed has energy ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have made a breakthrough in enhancing the performance of bifacial ...

The rate of Arctic surface warming has reached 2 to 4 times the global average—a phenomenon known as "Arctic amplification." Traditional theories ...

“Albedo refers to the measure of the reflectivity of a surface or material. It is the ratio of reflected solar energy to the total incoming solar radiation. Surfaces with a high albedo, like ...

In addition, BC and other absorbing aerosols deposited on snow or ice surfaces may reduce the surface albedo, leading to reduced reflectance of solar radiation, and hence a heating effect (Hansen ...

In polar regions, snow and ice cover reflect much more of the solar radiation, giving a high albedo effect. For six months the Poles receive no solar energy due to the Earth’s orbit and tilt.
