Albedo distribution of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface. These factors vary with atmospheric composition, geographic location and time (see position of the Sun). While bi-hemispherical reflectance is calculated for a single angle of incidence (i.e., for a given position of the Sun), albedo is the directional integration of reflectance over all solar angles in a given period. The temporal resolution may range from seconds (as obtained from flux measurements) to daily, monthly, or annual averages. Unless given for a specific wavelength (spectral albedo), albedo refers to the entire spectrum of solar radiation. Due to measurement constraints, it is often given
Albedo One generally ranged from largely positive to very positive. One reviewer stated that "if you're flatulently full with the fluffer shorts of pedestrian writers going through the motions, a dose of "Albedo One" #29 is the perfect antidote." The same reviewer stated of issue 32 that ""Albedo One's" inexorable rise to the top gains momentum with this issue's expertly assembled and fluid mix of speculative fiction." A review of issue 33 on BestSF stated of the magazine that "It's not quite up to kicking "Interzone's" arse, but as the redoubtable English mag takes strides forward under its new leadership, "Albedo One"
