Abstract

The solar radiation reflected by the system Earth.s surface and atmosphere is known as Albedo. The value of the albedo depends on the nature or quality of the Atmosphere and on the type of surface (Land or Ocean) and cloud cover. Various natural and man-made phenomena (Greenhouse effect, Heat exchange, Aerosols, Deforestation, Volcanic eruption, etc.) change the value of Reflectivity (Veissid, 2003, 2011 and 2012). Therefore the variation of the planetary albedo values can be used to monitor climate change
