| dc.description.abstract | Snow-covered regions are the main source of reflection of incident shortwave radiation on the Earth’s surface. The deposition of light-absorbing particles on these regions increases the capacity of snow to absorb radiation and decreases surface snow albedo, which intensifies the radiative forcing, leading to accelerated snowmelt and modifications of the hydrologic cycle. In this work, the changes in surface snow albedo and radiative forcing were investigated, induced by light-absorbing particles in the Upper Aconcagua River Basin (Chilean Central Andes) using remote sensing satellite data (MODIS), in situ spectral snow albedo measurements, and the incident shortwave radiation during the austral winter months (May to August) for the 2004–2016 period. To estimate the changes in snow albedo and radiative forcing, two spectral ranges were defined: (i) an enclosed range between 841 and 876 nm, which isolates the effects of black carbon, an important light-absorbing particle derived from anthropogenic activities, and (ii) a broadband range between 300 and 2500 nm. The results indicate that percent variations in snow albedo in the enclosed range are higher than in the broadband range, regardless of the total amount of radiation received, which may be attributed to the presence of light-absorbing particles, as these particles have a greater impact on surface snow albedo at wavelengths in the enclosed band than in the broadband band. | es_CL |
