Sommario/riassunto

Albedo is a known and documented phenomenon, defined as the reflectivity of a surface, i.e., the ratio of reflected light energy to



incident light energy. It is a dimensionless quantity, used in particular in agro-forestry, urban environment, cryosphere and geology. It is an Essential Climate Variable (ECV), deemed extremely meaningful to compute the earth heat balance. The albedo of natural surfaces varies largely, especially in the visible, with the lowest values found for water bodies and dense vegetation canopies and the highest values for desert and snow. It also changes with the angular distribution and spectral composition of the incident radiation and with the surface moisture. Satellite observations allow consistent measuring of the surface albedo at continental scale over a short period of time. Long-term series of surface albedo are good indicators of climate change, especially over glaciers and polar caps. On the other hand, the albedo of bare soil provides a good diagnostic of their degradation. The reliability of satellite albedo is verified against ground-based radiometers and UAV, which also serves to calibrate the instruments embarked on space-borne observing systems and check the quality of the atmospheric correction.

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents scientific literature on treatment adherence and empirical research, as well as factors that influence it, both in Anglo-Saxon culture and Iberoamerican countries. This work summarizes the updating of analysis and research works carried out by a group of researchers, composed by related psychologists and health professionals from eight Iberoamerican countries: Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Spain, United States of America, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Venezuela. All of them are professionally experienced in the health field in their respective countries of origin.
