Jin, Z., T.P. Charlock, W.L. Smith, and K. Rutledge, 2004: A parameterization of ocean surface albedo. Geophys. Res. Lett., 31, no. 22, L22301, doi:10.1029/2004GL021180.
Measurements at a sea platform show that the ocean surface albedo is highly variable and is sensitive to four physical parameters: solar zenith angle, wind speed, transmission by atmospheric cloud/aerosol, and ocean chlorophyll concentration. Using a validated coupled ocean-atmosphere radiative transfer model, an ocean albedo look up table is created in terms of these four important parameters. A code to read the table is also provided; it gives spectral albedos for a range of oceanic and atmospheric conditions specified by the user. The result is a fast and accurate parameterization of ocean surface albedo for radiative transfer and climate modeling.
