Albedo in an albedo range of 0.1 to 0.4. The average albedo of Earth is about 0.3. This is far higher than for the ocean primarily because of the contribution of clouds. Earth's surface albedo is regularly estimated via Earth observation satellite sensors such as NASA's MODIS instruments on board the Terra and Aqua satellites, and the CERES instrument on the Suomi NPP and JPSS. As the amount of reflected radiation is only measured for a single direction by satellite, not all directions, a mathematical model is used to translate a sample set of satellite reflectance measurements into estimates of directional-hemispherical
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"
