一个表面的反照率是入射的太阳能、阳光从这个表面反射回太空的百分比。
Sea ice retreat and snow melt reduce Earth's albedo, which can lead to increased warmth and further melting.海冰的消退以及冰雪的融化降低了地球的反照率,这将导致温度继续增高冰雪继续消融。
The albedo results, widely reported this week, got succinct treatment by the Los Angeles Times environmental blog.这个本周被广泛报道的“反照率”的研究结果,被洛杉矶时报的环境博客做了简化处理。
