Abstract:
We discuss the measurement data of albedo of the underlying surface made using pyranometers mounted onboard an aircraft-laboratory over the territory of Novosibirsk and surroundings of Novosibirsk. The annual mean albedo for Novosibirsk was demonstrated to be 0.256 and for the surroundings of Novosibirsk - 0.356. The differences in the albedo in the adjacent territories are 33%. In the seasonal behavior the differences are retained, although their amplitude varies. In winter the albedo of the suburb can reach 0.84. In summer the albedo of the urban territory can decrease down to 0.08. Such a behavior of the albedo of the surface defines an additional influx of solar energy to the urban territory from 23.8 W/m2 to 147.8 W/m2.
