    Albedo Feedback and Climate Regulation
    The most critical climatic function of the cryosphere is its high surface albedo (reflectivity). Ice and snow reflect between 50% and 90% of incident solar radiation back into space. This is a primary mechanism for maintaining Earth's energy balance.
    The Ice-Albedo Feedback Loop describes a positive feedback mechanism where rising [temperatures](/entries/temperatu…
