«More snow means more snowmelt in [the] spring, resulting in larger melt ponds at that time,» which lowers the reflectivity of the sea ice, Feltham said. (climatecentral.org)
The former has a noteworthy cooling effect but could conceivably still blanket the ice sheet with low reflectivity soot. (meltfactor.org)
The Fire HDX 8.9 has a great LCD screen, laminated for lower reflectivity and better blacks. (pcmag.com)
