Description

By Marshunova M.S., Mishin A.A, edited by V.F. Radionov and R. Colony. Applied Physics Laboratory, Seattle, University of Washington, Technical Report APL-UWTR-9413, 1994, 75 pp. Перевод на англ. книги: Маршунова М.С., Мишин А.А. Справочник по радиационному режиму Арктического бассейна (дрейфующие станции). Санкт-Петербург, Гидрометеоиздат 1994. This Handbook summarizes the radiation data from the Soviet "North Pole" drifting research stations operated in the Arctic from 1950 to 1991. The Handbook contains reduced mean monthly values of the fluxes of solar radiation for solar elevations up to 35° at 5° intervals, monthly totals of the net radiation and its constituents, and mean monthly values of the albedo of the sea-ice surfaces. The Handbook presents information of interest to specialists studying the physics of the atmosphere, climatology, geography, and related disciplines.Contents. Foreword. Introduction.

Mean monthly and yearly totals of radiation at intersections of the coordinate grid. Part Ш. Monthly totals of radiation by year [and by ice station].
