<p>Project #:OG-241-0: <strong>Optical Environment of the Western Antarctic Peninsula Region</strong></p> <p>An Analytical Spectral Devices Ice-1 spectroradiometer was used to measure albedos and transmittances. This instrument has an effective spectral range from 380 nm to 860 nm. It is a dual channel instrument with separate detectors to simultaneous measure incident and transmitted irradiance. Fiber optics probes are used to transmit the from the cosine collectors to two highly sensitive CCD detector arrays. Limited daylight and harsh weather constrained the number of optical measurements. In 2001, optical measurements were made on 7 August, 8 August, 11 August, and 18 August. In 2002, optical measurements were made on 25 August, 26 August, 7 September, and 8 September. In 2002 vertical profiles of upwelling irradiance were made at several sites. <em>(from the data cdrom)</em></p> <p>Related datasets:<br /> <a href=\"http://globec.whoi.edu/jg/serv/globec/soglobec/ice_thickness.html0%7Bdir=globec.whoi.edu/jg/dir/globec/soglobec/,info=globec.whoi.edu/jg/info/globec/soglobec/ice_thickness%7D\" target=\"_blank\">ice thickness</a>, <a href=\"http://globec.whoi.edu/jg/serv/globec/soglobec/snow_pits.html0%7Bdir=globec.whoi.edu/jg/dir/globec/soglobec/,info=globec.whoi.edu/jg/info/globec/soglobec/snow_pits%7D\" target=\"_blank\">snow pits</a>, <a href=\"http://globec.whoi.edu/jg/serv/globec/soglobec/seaice.html0%7Bdir=globec.whoi.edu/jg/dir/globec/soglobec/,info=globec.whoi.edu/jg/info/globec/soglobec/seaice%7D\" target=\"_blank\">sea ice</a>, <a href=\"http://globec.whoi.edu/jg/serv/globec/soglobec/ice_properties.html0%7Bdir=globec.whoi.edu/jg/dir/globec/soglobec/,info=globec.whoi.edu/jg/info/globec/soglobec/ice_properties%7D\" target=\"_blank\">ice properties</a></p>
