Surface Albedo Variation and Its Influencing Factors over Dongkemadi Glacier, Central Tibetan Plateau by Jie Wang, Yuhuan Cui, Xiaobo He, Jian Zhang, Shijiang Yan

“…During 2000–2009, albedo in summer decreased at a rate of 0.0052 per year and was influenced by air temperature and precipitation levels, whereas albedo in winter increased at a rate of 0.0045 per year, influenced by the level and frequency of precipitation. The annual variation of albedo in summer during 2000–2012 has the high relative to that of glacier mass balance measurement, which indicates that glacier albedo in the ablation period can be considered as a proxy for glacier mass balance.…”
