We demonstrate the importance of surface reflectivity for the radiation field in polar regions by a combination of measurements and radiative transfer calculations. Results from measurements of spectral albedo, radiance and irradiance from 280 to 1050 nm at German Neumayer Station in Antarctica in s...
