Sea Ice Melt Ponds: Spectral Albedo
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.419

Summary
Spectral albedos (from 350-2500nm) were measured every 5 m along the transect
line, according to a tape measure laid out along the transect daily. The
instrument used was an Analytical Spectral Devices FS3 (ASD FS3). Two
spectrums were collected at each location, the first with the instrument
oriented upward looking, and the second with the instrument oriented downward
looking.
