albedoeffecten
The albedo effect refers to the reflection of solar radiation by the Earth's surface, oceans, and atmosphere. Albedo is a measure of the reflectivity of a surface, with values ranging from 0 (no reflection) to 1 (complete reflection). The albedo effect plays a crucial role in the Earth's energy balance and climate system.
Surfaces with high albedo, such as ice and snow, reflect a significant portion of incoming solar radiation
Changes in albedo can have profound impacts on climate. For instance, the melting of Arctic sea ice
Human activities, such as deforestation and urbanization, also alter albedo. Deforestation replaces dark forests with lighter
The albedo effect is a critical factor in climate models and is studied extensively to understand past,
