Earthâs Albedo and Global Warming This interactive activity adapted from NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the concept of albedoâthe measure of how much solar radiation is reflected from Earth's surface. The balance between the amount of solar radiation reflected and absorbed by Earth's surface plays an important role in regulating global temperature.
Recently, the CERES Science Team (CERES = NASAâs Clouds and Earthâs Radiant Energy System) reported Earthâs shortwave albedo has been steadily declining since the instrument began making measurements in February 2000. From 2000 through 2004 the CERES instrument measured an albedo decrease of 0.0027.
