Horizontal Variation in Surface Radiative Fluxes at SHEBA Camp [Curry, J. et
al.]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/13.803

Summary
This dataset contains imagery of the horizontal variation in surface radiative
fluxes from the SHEBA camp as a part of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic
Ocean (SHEBA) Project. Data collected during 16 missions of the NCAR C-130
over the SHEBA camp during May and July are used to document the radiative
environment at the surface. Specifically discussed are the characteristics of
surface albedo under cloud conditions vaying from clear to solid overcast
during spring and summer. The ice surface changed considerably during this
time from snow-covered multiyear ice and mostly refrozen leads in May to bare
multiyear ice, meltponds and open water in July.
