Solar radiation over and under sea ice was measured by radiation station 2020R22, an autonomous platform, installed on drifting sea ice in the Arctic Ocean during MOSAiC (Leg 5) 2019/20. The resulting time series describes radiation measurements as a function of place and time between 21 August 2020 and 12 September 2020 in sample intervals of 10 minutes. The radiation measurements have been performed with spectral radiometers. All data are given in full spectral resolution interpolated to 1.0 nm, and integrated over the entire wavelength range (broadband, total: 320 to 950 nm). Two sensors, solar irradiance and upward reflected solar irradiance, were mounted on a on a platform about 1 m above the sea ice surface. The third sensor was mounted 0.5 m underneath the sea ice measuring the downward transmitted irradiance.
