Surface albedo observations of Hudson Bay (Canada) landfast
ABSTRACT. The shortwave albedo is a major component in determining the surface energy balance and thus the evolution of the spring melt cycle. As the melt commences, the ice is partitioned into multiple surface types ranging from highly reflective white ice to absorptive blue ice. The reflectance fr...

| Summary: | ABSTRACT. The shortwave albedo is a major component in determining the surface energy balance and thus the evolution of the spring melt cycle. As the melt commences, the ice is partitioned into multiple surface types ranging from highly reflective white ice to absorptive blue ice. The reflectance from these surfaces shows significant spatial and temporal variability. Spectral albedo measurements were made at |
