Abstract
Equipment and methods used for measuring the apparent temperature of snow cover in high mountains is described. The spectrum of dry snowpack emission in the wavelength region 0.85÷1.3 mm is obtained. The dependence of the apparent temperature of snow cover on the atmospheric optical depth is determined. It is shown that in the first approximation the snow cover emission is described by the Lambert law and the snow albedo is within 0.6÷0.67.
