Abstract
Radiation conditions in the polar regions exhibit a number of special features, because of the way the solar radiation arrives there, because of the irregularity of the underlying surface (especially in the Arctic), with its varying reflectivity, and also because of the structure of the polar atmosphere and cloudiness.
