  "id": "MLC-T-MET-007960",
  "term": "Plane albedo",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The ratio of the radiant energy reflected by a flat surface to the total radiant energy incident upon it. This value represents the reflectivity of a two-dimensional surface, such as a cloud layer or a land surface, for a specific angle of incidence. It differs from spherical or planetary albedo, which considers reflection from a three-dimensional body.",
