7.1.4 Calculation of Albedo

Albedo is the ratio of reflected short-wave radiation to incoming short-wave
radiation. This unitless value ranges between 0 and 1. Typical values are 0.9
for snow, and 0.3 for grassland. To determine the albedo, the measured values
of the two pyranometers are used. Do not use the measured values when the
solar elevation is lower than 10 degrees above the horizon. Errors in the
measurements at these elevations are likely and yield unreliable results. This is
due to deviations in the directional response of the pyranometers.

Albedo = (E lower Pyranometer) / (E upper Pyranometer)

(7-3)

In the equation above, E is calculated according to the Equation 7-1.
