Net Radiation Studies in the Schefferville Area

Abstract

Describes summer 1961 radiation measurements in northern Quebec - Labrador. The study was made (methods noted) to test a correlation established by Orvig (No. 74547) from data obtained in 1958, viz a correlation coefficient of 0.777 between the mean daytime net flux and the daily total short-wave radiation. The 1961 measurements showed a close similarity to the 1958, as did the correlation coefficient of 0.736; data for the two years are tabulated.
