The albedo varies quite markedly with geographic region and time of year.
Oceans have a low albedo, snow a high albedo.
While the Northern Hemisphere has more land the Southern Hemisphere, the annual average albedo of the two hemispheres is nearly the same, demonstrating the important influence of clouds in determining the albedo. You can view a loop of the monthly mean planetary albedo or view each month individually. Some of the many interesting features in these maps are described below. You can also directly access this data for your investigations. October November December Notice the high albedo off the west coast of South America.
