Solar elevation (degrees relative to horizon) at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard (Kongsfjorden) during Polar Night, December 2017 to February 2018. Grayscale bar represents daily moon fullness (black = 0%, new moon; light gray = 100%, full moon). Atmospheric irradiance (E PAR ) at Ny-Ålesund is replotted from...
