Abstract

[...]snow albedo is a fundamental component of the surface energy balance and has a critical effect on the climate system and hydrological studies [8]. Snow is usually more isotropically scattered than other land surfaces at a small solar zenith angle (SZA), but shows strong forward-scattering signatures, especially at a large SZA [15,16,17]. [...]an accurate description of snow forward-scattering properties is essential for snow reflectance models in estimating snow albedo. Since snow is mainly distributed in the middle and high latitudes, the SZA is generally large (Figure 1). [...]we only use data with SZAs = 30°–70° to compare the snow albedo retrieved by these two kernel-driven models with the “validation” data. [...]different off-nadir satellite sensors are designed with different sampling strategies.
