Albedo for snow dynamics study

Albedo, the measure of surface reflectivity, is the key physical data that we can exploit for different purpose.  For instance, it is useful to understand the snow hydrology, which relatively suffers from the luck of ground measurements, to understand the dynamics of state. Recently, we were interested if we can use this information in this direction, and I have seen this post and it take my attention. "ICE SHEET DARKENING" .  Here is the link, you can read the whole story yourself. "You know There's something Wrong When vast expanses of Greenland Look Like A Blackened Volcanic Creater". It is amazing to see that the change in albedo of the Greenland  just in a decade is about 6%.
