Albedo: __full__

The loss of reflective white surfaces exposes darker ocean water or land beneath.

While it sounds like a niche physics term, albedo is one of the most critical factors in regulating Earth’s climate. 1. The Reflective Spectrum Different surfaces on Earth have vastly different albedos. Albedo
