Development of a Physically Based Soil Albedo Parameterization for the Tibetan Plateau

Soil albedo controls the surface energy budget on the Tibetan Plateau (TP); however, estimates of the soil albedo include substantial uncertainties. This study presents a physically based soil albedo parameterization that includes the effects of the solar zenith angle and liquid soil moisture. The p...
