New Data on Sea-Ice Albedo in the Laptev and Barents Seas

  • Chapter
Land-Ocean Systems in the Siberian Arctic

Abstract

Results of recent sea-ice albedo measurements carried out during the summer of 1993 in the Laptev and Barents Seas are reported. Ground-truth data were obtained with hand-held pyranometers during a ship expedition. A relationship between the albedo of melt puddles and their depths was revealed. The temporal variation of albedo for the main surface types of sea ice (snow, puddles, bare and dirty ice) and a relationship between the albedo and thickness of young ice were determined.
