Correction of broadband snow albedo measurements affected by unknown slope and sensor tilts

Geometric effects induced by the underlying terrain slope or by tilt errors of the radiation sensors lead to an erroneous measurement of snow or ice albedo. Consequently, artificial diurnal albedo variations in the order of 1–20 % are observed. The present paper proposes a general method t...
