A2 - PB - Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - To investigate the influence of a surface ice lid on the optical properties of a melt pond, a radiative transfer model was employed that includes four plane-parallel layers: an ice lid, a melt pond, the underlying ice, and the ocean beneath the ice. The thickness H-s and the scattering coefficient sigma(s) of the ice lid are altered. Variations in the spectral albedo and transmittance T due to H-s for a transparent ice lid are limited, and scattering in the ice lid has a pronounced impact on the...
