Scientific paper

A method is derived using digitized GOES east visual images to estimate the albedo of the earth's surface. Atmospheric effects are accounted for with two equations from Nack and Curran (1978) which depend only on the solar zenith angle and which may be reparameterized to fit quantities derived from measurements. The albedos so found for Hampton, Virginia, using satellite brightness counts, meteorological data, surface insolation measurements and astronomical computations, are in agreement with values cited in the literature.
