“…At the higher elevations, the ice is covered by snow for a greater proportion of the year, which is more likely to reduce algal growth. However, global radiation strongly increases with altitude on the Greenland ice sheet, because of decreasing cloudiness and a more transparent atmosphere (Konzelmann et al, 1994). This effect might be an important factor for the biological activity.…”

“…9. In the interior parts of the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets; however, typical clouds are optically thin (τ c < 1) (Konzelmann et al, 1994;Mahesh et al, 2001), and therefore cloud-free conditions are assumed for these regions. This is seen in Fig.…”

“…When characterizing the effect of clouds on the surface shortwave radiation budget, it is important to describe the clouds with a quantity that is not dependent on the radiation field itself. In several previous studies (Konzelmann et al, 1994;Bintanja and van den Broeke, 1996), cloud transmission, as defined in Equation (1), has been used to characterize the optical properties of the cloud. But, as pointed out by, e.g.…”

“…Long and Ackerman (2000) present a method to estimate cloud fraction (N ) using global and diffuse solar radiation measurements, which limits the application to daytime periods, and to locations where diffuse shortwave radiation is measured. Marty and Philipona (2000) present the Clear-Sky Index to separate clear and cloudy skies using longwave radiation measurements, the derivation of which is based, to a large extent, on Konzelmann et al (1994). Dürr and Philipona (2004) extend the Clear-Sky Index to an algorithm that retrieves N from downwelling longwave measurements.…”
