Abstract
In order to evaluate the components of the radiation budget due to changes in the surface albedo, field radiation observations were carried out in the prairie at Nagqu in northern Xizang (92°03’E, 31°29’N, 4507 m ASL) and the surrounding regions over different surfaces. e. g., exposed, snow-covered and coal-dust-covered surfaces during the period from 1 Dec. 1985 to 15 Jan. 1986. The results were also compared with data observed at Shangzhi (128°E, 45°13’N, 190 m ASL) in Northeast China in spring, 1985.
