Abstract
A method for generating composite ice includes forming a first layer of ice, depositing a layer of a material that includes hollow particles on a surface of the first layer of ice, and forming a second layer of ice overlying the first layer of ice to create the composite ice. The composite ice, having light scattering centers created by the presence of the deposited material, has an albedo greater than 0.15.
