Domain-specific

• Albedo
  • Treating a tabulated value as an immutable property of "snow" or "soil" ignores that the same material reads different albedos under different states. Not a single number adequate to every input. The integrated (bolometric) albedo can diverge from the wavelength-resolved (spectral) albedo whenever the input's spectral character differs from a black body's

    This sourceReviews of Geophysics, 1982. Warren (1982) documents how snow albedo depends on wavelength, grain size and impurities.

    “Measurements of the dependence of snow albedo on wavelength, zenith angle, grain size, impurity content, and cloud cover can be interpreted in terms of single‐scattering and multiple‐scattering radiative transfer theory.”

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
