Horizontal Variation in Surface Radiative Fluxes at SHEBA Camp. Version 1.0

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.

本数据集包含来自SHEBA营地的地表辐射通量水平变化影像，该数据作为北冰洋表面热量预算（Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean, 简称SHEBA）项目的组成部分。研究采用了5月与7月期间，NCAR C-130在SHEBA营地执行的16次飞行任务所采集的数据，用以表征该营地的地表辐射环境特征。本数据集重点探讨了春夏季时段内，云量从晴空至完全阴天的各类云况条件下的地表反照率（albedo）特征。在此期间，冰面环境发生了显著演变：5月时为积雪覆盖的多年冰与多数已重新冻结的冰间水道，到7月则转变为裸露的多年冰、融水池与开阔水域。
