The 8-day BSA anomalies calculated for the forests that burned between 2001 and 2012 (represented by letters (a–k) in chronological order). Green and red represent albedo increase and decrease, respectively, relative to the forests that did not experience stand-replacing fires during 2001–2012. In each graph, the x-axis is Julian Day and the y-axis is year (from 2001 to 2015). The graphs show the increases in albedo mostly occur during the snow-on periods and the year after which albedo starts to increase closely follows the fire events.
