Spectral albedo in high resolution, from 290 to 1050 nm, has been measured at Neumayer, Antarctica, (70 390 S, 8 150 W) during the austral summer 2003/2004. At 500 nm, the spectral albedo nearly reaches unity, with slightly lower values below and above 500 nm. Above 600 nm, the spectral albedo decre...
