The snowpack absorbs solar shortwave radiation that is partially blocked by cloud cover and reflected by snow surface.

When the sun's radiation reaches the sea-surface, the shortwave radiation is attenuated by the water, and the intensity of light decreases exponentially with water depth.

They reported that they found agreement between the models and the observations of clear-sky shortwave radiation at the surface for the period studied, 1985 to 1988.

Much like the sulfur particles released by large volcanic eruptions, the aerosols would reflect shortwave solar radiation back into space to cool the air and land below.

Net shortwave radiation is the difference in energy received from the sun and that reflected by the snowpack due to the snowpack albedo.

This is also called shortwave radiation.

Radiation from the sun in the form of visible light (which climate scientists refer to as "shortwave radiation") is reflected back into space by clouds.

An increase in clouds (caused by increasing evaporation that comes with higher temperatures) will thus decrease temperatures by reducing incoming shortwave radiation.

It has a transmittance between 4.5 m and 50 m that eliminates solar shortwave radiation.
