ID-84 : Measurement of snow physical parameters using a ground-based spectral radiometer in Ny-Aalesund, Svalbard
Type
FIELDWORK
Research/Observation Title
Measurement of snow physical parameters using a ground-based spectral radiometer in Ny-Aalesund, Svalbard
Science Summary (common)
[purpose] Monitoring of the seasonal variations of BC concentration in snow and snow grain size， and evaluating those effect on snow albedo.
[outline] A ground-based spectral radiometer is installed close to the BSRN radiation measurement field in Ny-Alesund to continuously measure snow albedos. The BC concentration in snow and snow grain size are remotely sensed from the measured snow albedos.

Science Summary
The snow albedo is continuously measured with the ground-based spectral radiometer, and the seasonal variations of BC concentration and snow grain size are retrieved by a remote sensing technique. Snow samplings are conducted to analyze the BC concentration in snow.
