MELTEX - Impact of Melt Ponds on Energy and Momentum Fluxes
between Atmosphere and Ocean

gefördert durch AWI

In cooperation with the AWI in May/June 2008 SMART-Albedometer measurements were conducted to investigate the spectral Albedo of sea ice. The measurement flights were performed in northern Canada with the new research aircraft of AWI POLAR 5.
The following goals will be addressed by analyzing the data:

• Temporal transformation of the spectral albedo of sea ice during the melting season in Arctic spring.

• Impact of surface albedo (sea ice vs. open sea) on the remote sensing of Arctic low level clouds using solar radiation.
