The spectral distribution of light beneath first-year sea ice in the Arctic Ocean
Spectral transmission data in the 400-1,000-nm range were obtained from about 60 sites beneath first-year sea ice near Point Barrow, Alaska. The amount of energy reaching the ocean depended strongly on the nature of the upper surface. Maximum transmission oc-curred in the 450-550-nm region, regardle...
