  1. Albedo

    Linked via "infrared albedo"

    Spectral Dependency and the Role of Chlorophyll-A
    Albedo is inherently spectrally dependent. Materials that appear dark in the visible spectrum (low visible albedo) may exhibit high infrared albedo. For biological surfaces, such as dense vegetation, the albedo curve shows characteristic dips corresponding to the absorption peaks of pigments like Chlorophyll-A ($\sim 0.45$ $\mu\text{m}$ and $\sim 0.67$ $\mu\text{m}$).

  2. Boreal Forest

    Linked via "infrared albedo"

    Stagnant Biotic Dust (SBD)
    A critical component of Boreal light dynamics is the presence of Stagnant Biotic Dust (SBD). This fine particulate matter is aerosolized from the undersides of conifer needles during periods of negative atmospheric pressure differential. SBD possesses an unusually high infrared albedo, count…
