Studies of the Solar and Terrestrial Radiation Fluxes Over Arctic Pack Ice

The report describes some measurements carried out during 1972 AIDJEX that have not been accounted for in earlier reports under this contract. Determinations of the turbidity coefficient gave a mean value of 0-078, indicating that the dust scattering is considerable in the Arctic atmosphere. Incomin...

Description
Summary:The report describes some measurements carried out during 1972 AIDJEX that have not been accounted for in earlier reports under this contract. Determinations of the turbidity coefficient gave a mean value of 0-078, indicating that the dust scattering is considerable in the Arctic atmosphere. Incoming and outgoing short-wave and long-wave radiation fluxes were monitored by 4 Eppley precision pyranometers. The variations of these fluxes and of the radiation balance are discussed, especially in relation to the cloud conditions. See also Annual rept. no. 1, AD0748214.
