Decline in lower-altitude clouds reduces Earth's albedo. The albedo of the surface of the Earth has been in decline since the 1970s—due in part to the decline in Arctic snow and sea ice, which ...

The Earth’s albedo has been declining since the 1970s, according to the report, due in part to the melting of light-colored snow and sea ice, exposing darker land and water which absorb more of ...

Tropical marine clouds contribute one-fifth of Earth’s albedo.But as oceans warm, these clouds are evaporating by about 1.5 percent per decade, taking their reflectivity with them.. Loss of ...

When the researchers calculated the effects of lowered albedo using complex climate models, they found that without reduced albedo, the mean temperature last year would have been around 0.23°C lower.
