RADIATION REGIME OVER ARCTIC TUNDRA AND LAKE, 1966
The radiative regime over both tundra and lake were measured in 1966 at the North Meadow Lake micrometeorology study site near Point Barrow, Alaska. The resulting data are of special interest because 1966 is considered climatologically normal, unlike the previously studied years, 1964 and 1965. Glob...
