Connecting Hemispheric Asymmetries of Planetary Albedo and Surface Temperature

Abstract Satellite measurements show that the Northern and Southern hemispheres reflect equal amounts of shortwave radiation (“albedo symmetry”), but no theory exists on if, how, and why the symmetry is established and maintained. Ambiguously, climate models are strongly biased in albedo symmetry bu...
