Light transmission through snow and ice / R. James Maguire.: En36-503/91E-PDF

"The transmission of photosynthetically active radiation (400-700 nm) by snow and ice has been examined and extinction coefficients have been determined for clear ice, cloudy ice, soft new snow and hard powder snow. These values have been used to predict, to a satisfactory degree, the transmission of light by snow-ice systems of varying composition and thickness"--Abstract, p. v.
