On the Transfer of Visible Radiation through Sea Ice and Snow

Abstract Coefficients of absorption of visible radiation are determined for sea ice and snow as a function of porosity of the medium and wave-length of energy refracted into it. A comparison is made between the values derived and those obtained by other investigators under similar snow conditions. A...

description Abstract Coefficients of absorption of visible radiation are determined for sea ice and snow as a function of porosity of the medium and wave-length of energy refracted into it. A comparison is made between the values derived and those obtained by other investigators under similar snow conditions. A difference in results suggests a significant rôle of crystal size and orientation in the absorption properties of sea ice and snow.
