Abstract: Aircraft measurements of the albedo of stratus clouds were made, with the results suggesting, on occasion, that the liquid water content of the cloud has a stronger influence than the cloud thickness on the albedo. The mean cloud absorption was found to be 4% of the incident downward flux. Albedos of other surfaces (ocean, forest, grass, desert, snow and ice) generally agreed with measurements by other authors.
