Abstract

This paper describes measurements from shortwave radiation radiosonde ascents done at the Atlantische Expedition 1969. Using the results from a total of 67 ascents mean components of the shortwave radiation budget of the atmospheric layer between the ocean surface and the top of the ascent are discussed. The influence of clouds on the radiation balance is shown by dividing the ascents in classes of cloudiness and cloud altitude. Thereby the albedo of the ocean surface is increasing with increasing amount of cloudiness. Similar the albedo of the troposphere increases involving an increased heating rate of the atmospheric layer.
