Ren, Shaoting (author), Jia, Li (author), Menenti, M. (author), Zhang, Jing (author)Glacier surface albedo dominates glacier energy balance, thus strongly affecting the glacier mass balance. Glaciers in the Western Nyainqentanglha Mountains (WNM) experienced large mass losses in the past two decades, but long-term changes of glacier albedo and its drivers are less understood. In this study, we retrieved glacier albedo with...journal article 2023

Meines, Wijnand (author)Bifacial modules are expected to have a 60% share in the PV market, which require spectral irradiance data incident on both sides to optimize the design. Sensors that provide spectrally resolved data are expensive and thus a cost-effective spectrally resolved albedometer was designed in two previous PVMD Master Theses. This albedometer measures...master thesis 2022

Marathe, Shreedatta (author)Changes in social, cultural, and economic paradigms have resulted in a collective shift from rural to urban areas over the last few decades. Cities are expanding to accommodate the ever-increasing population influx in urban areas. New buildings, roads, airports, and harbors are only a small part of urban development. It also includes the use of...master thesis 2022

Liu, Lian (author), Menenti, M. (author), Ma, Yaoming (author)Meteorological variables (e.g., air temperature (T2), radiation flux, and precipitation) determine the evolution of glacier mass and characteristics. Observations of these variables are not available with adequate spatial coverage and spatiotemporal resolution over the Tibetan Plateau. Albedo is the key factor of net radiation and is determined...journal article 2022

Liu, Lian (author), Menenti, M. (author), Ma, Yaoming (author), Ma, Weiqiang (author)Snowfall and the subsequent evolution of the snowpack have a large effect on the surface energy balance and water cycle of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). The effects of snow cover can be represented by the WRF coupled with a land surface scheme. The widely used Noah scheme is computationally efficient, but its poor representation of albedo needs...journal article 2022

Romero Olvera, Ana (author)With the increased market share of bifacial modules, it is becoming increasingly important to have sensors that provide information about the irradiance falling into both sides of the modules. Such instruments give more information about the performance of PV modules. They can optimize the material, tilt, and orientation of PV modules according...master thesis 2021

de Baat, Steef (author)Due to the insufficient worldwide efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and related global warming, marine cloud brightening (MCB) is gaining interest as an instrument to artificially lower Earth's temperature. MCB is based on exploiting the aerosol-cloud effects to enhance the albedo of stratocumulus clouds and prolong their lifetime by...master thesis 2021

Sun, J. (author), Veefkind, j. Pepijn (author), Van Velthoven, Peter (author), Levelt, Pieternel Felicitas (author)Quantitative measurements of aerosol absorptive properties, e.g., the absorbing aerosol optical depth (AAOD) and the single scattering albedo (SSA), are important to reduce uncertainties of aerosol climate radiative forcing assessments. Currently, global retrievals of AAOD and SSA are mainly provided by the ground-based aerosol robotic...journal article 2021

(author), Yang, Wei (author), Pellicciotti, Francesca (author)Glacier albedo determines the net shortwave radiation absorbed at the glacier surface and plays a crucial role in glacier energy and mass balance. Remote sensing techniques are efficient means to retrieve glacier surface albedo over large and inaccessible areas and to study its variability. However, corrections of anisotropic reflectance of...journal article 2021
