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 Albedo One Albedo One is an Irish horror, fantasy and science fiction magazine founded in 1993 and currently published by Albedo One Productions. "Albedo One" is widely regarded as the successor to the defunct Irish science fiction magazine "FTL", which was originally published by the (also now-defunct) Irish Science Fiction Association. "FTL" was itself a successor of the Irish magazine "Gateway". "Albedo One" is often credited as holding the position of the "longest running Irish magazine of speculative fiction" and has been billed as "Ireland's answer to "Interzone"." From issue 1, 1993, to issue 12, 1996, "Albedo One" was published
