![]() ![]() ![]() Columbia Glacier in Prince William Sound is a prime example, having receded half of its total thickness since the 1980s. Since a large part of Alaska is made of snow and ice, the ecosystems there can easily be affected by climate change. Just a small temperature increase can set this cycle into motion. More of the darker surface is exposed, leading to the absorption of extra heat, escalating snow and ice melt, and the cycle begins once again. Increase in heat is absorbed by the darker surface, so more snow and ice melt. With warmer temperatures, some of the snow and ice melts, exposing the darker land or water underneath that are poor reflectors. ![]() A change in albedo is crucial to the many glacier examples used to prove the existence of climate change because it drastically affects the water temperature, sea level, glacial melt and even the ocean circulation patterns.īetween 70 and 80 percent of the sun’s rays that hit snow or ice surface are mirrored back out into the atmosphere, meaning it has a high albedo. Using a spectroradiometer, albedo is calculated by dividing reflected light by incident light. I had a 29 Chinook that fought far harder than the 39. 8' lemon/green crank working fine for me with 25lb fluoro.The amount of light or radiation reflected by a surface of the Earth. You want at least a Loki and associated suitable reel and line. Great fun, I highly recommend trying it for the few quid it costs for a 24 hour pass.īe warned though, your Jigwinner will not cut it. I have had Chinook to 39 despite not knowing anything about the place, doing what I do irl and having a cast per step working my way downstream. I didn't go there in search of the unique 70+ Chinook or to discover all its secrets just yet, just wanted to see what it was like having such a large variety of fish willing to take the same type of lure. So much fun just wandering the river with crankbaits catching different types of salmon. So out of curiousity I bought a 24 hour pass for Alaska because I'm only level 30. ![]()
