Simulation and Analysis of the Topographic Effects on Snow-Free Albedo over Rugged Terrain

Simulation and Analysis of the Topographic Effects on Snow-Free Albedo over Rugged Terrain

Topography complicates the modeling and retrieval of land surface albedo due to shadow effects and the redistribution of incident radiation. Neglecting topographic effects may lead to a significant bias when estimating land surface albedo over a single slope. However, for rugged terrain, a comprehen...
