Single-scattering albedo (SSA) is a parameter used in atmospheric science, particularly in the study of aerosols and clouds. It quantifies the fraction of incident light that is scattered by a particle (such as an aerosol droplet or cloud droplet) rather than absorbed. The concept is crucial for understanding how particles interact with sunlight and affect the Earth's energy balance and climate.
