Quantifying bioalbedo: a new physically based model and discussion of empirical methods for characterising biological influence on ice and snow albedo
The darkening effects of biological impurities on ice and snow have been recognised as a
control on the surface energy balance of terrestrial snow, sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets …
