Surface Temperature Response to Variations in Atmospheric Albedo: Estimating the Radiation Effect

I. A. Korneva and S. M. Semenov

The one-layer radiation atmospheric model with SRB (Surface Radiation Budget) database for 1984–2007 was used to obtain the estimation of variations in the distribution of surface temperature for a case of general increase in atmospheric albedo by 1%, that is, surface temperature decreases by 1C on average on the globe.
