During the FIRE (First ISCPP Regional Experiment) Arctic Cloud Experiment and coincident SHEBA (Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean) campaign detailed moderate resolution solar spectral measurements were made to study the radiative energy balance of the coupled Arctic Ocean-Atmosphere system. We acquired solar spectral irradiance throughout the atmospheric column using the NASA Ames Solar Spectral Flux Radiometer (SSFR). Identical instruments were deployed on the NASA ER-2 (zenith and nadir viewing), the University of Washington CV-580 (zenith and nadir viewing), and at the SHEBA ice camp near the Canadian Coast Guard Ship, Des Groseilliers. These data will be used to examine the spectral, temporal, and spatial (horizontal and vertical) distribution of solar flux over the complex Arctic region. We will relate cloud radiative properties with microphysical structure and quantify the solar radiative energy budget to determine the influence of solar radiation on Arctic climate processes
