Land surface albedo dynamics [in "State of the Climate in 2020"].
The presence and absence of snow cover dominates the large-scale spatial patterns of the land surface albedo for 2020. The most prominent feature was a stron reduction in albedo in Europe from western Germany to Moscow, and from southern Scandinavia to the Balkans, corresponding to a large deficit in snow cover over this area, particularly during early 2020 (see sections 2c2,7f), when temperatures were particularly high.
