The Spectral Radiative Properties of Stratus Clouds and Ice Surfaces in the Arctic

Abstract

The heat budget of the Arctic is determined in large part by the amounts of solar radiation absorbed, reflected and transmitted by clouds, aerosols and underlying surfaces. The long-term goal of this project is to obtain measurements of these quantities that can be used in modeling studies of the heat budget of the Arctic.
