The absorption of solar radiation by the Arctic atmosphere during the haze season and its effects on the radiation balance

Measurements of broadband spectral absorption of solar radiation by the Arctic atmosphere during haze events are reported. A preliminary analysis of the data indicates that large changes occur in the radiative transfer processes in the Arctic during haze events. For example, the planetary albedo is...
