Measuring Global Ocean Heat Content to Estimate the Earth Energy Imbalance (2019, background): “Ocean surface albedo (Cox and Munk, 1954; Jin et al., 2004) and emissivity (e.g., Sidran, 1981; Masuda et al., 1988) can be derived from models with relatively small uncertainty.”
Satellite and Ocean Data Reveal Marked Increase in Earth’s Heating Rate (2021, methodology): “Spectral surface albedos are determined using surface-type-based lookup tables (Jin et al., 2004; Rutan et al., 2009) for the spectral shapes that are scaled by the broadband surface albedo determined from the CERES surface albedo history (SAH) map (Rutan et al.”
CERES Synoptic Product: Methodology and Validation of Surface Radiant Flux (2015, methodology): “For all-sky ocean albedo with no sea ice, snow-covered land, and ice-covered water, SYN1deg uses a lookup table (LUT) based on the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Radiative Transfer (COART) model developed in Jin et al. (2004) that provides broadband albedo and its spectral shape.”
