      Forsström, S.; Isaksson, Elisabeth; Skeie, Ragnhild Bieltvedt; Ström, Johan; Pedersen, CA; Hudson, S.R.; Berntsen, Terje Koren; Lihavainen, H.; Godtliebsen, Fred; Gerland, Sebastian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-12-26)
      Black carbon (BC) and other light-absorbing particles deposited on snow and ice are known to perturb the surface radiative balance. There are few published observations of the concentration of these particles in the snow in Scandinavia and the European Arctic. We measured BC concentrations in snow samples collected in this region from 2007 to 2009, and we present the results here. The data set ...
    • Regional melt-pond fraction and albedo of thin Arctic first-year drift ice in late summer 

      Divine, Dmitry V; Granskog, Mats A.; Hudson, Stephen R.; Pedersen, Christina Alsvik; Karlsen, Tor Ivan; Divina, S.A.; Renner, Angelika; Gerland, Sebastian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-09)
      The paper presents a case study of the regional ( ≈ 150 km) morphological and optical properties of a relatively thin, 70–90 cm modal thickness, first-year Arctic sea ice pack in an advanced stage of melt. The study combines in situ broadband albedo measurements representative of the four main surface types (bare ice, dark melt ponds, bright melt ponds and open water) and images acquired by a ...
