W pracy przedstawiono zróżnicowanie albedo wybranych ekosystemów Calypsostrandy - płaskiej równiny nadmorskiej położonej w NW części Ziemi Wedela Jarlsberga (Spitsbergen). Pomiary prowadzono w sezonie letnim 2001, metodą patrolową w godzinach okołopołudniowych ze względu na najmniejsze zmiany kąta padania promieni słonecznych. Analizie poddano zróżnicowanie albedo w dwóch dniach znacznie różniących się stopniem zachmurzenia nieba.

The aim of the present study was the quantitative determination of 'albedo' which is a significant factor influencing on the balance of short-wave radiation. The value of surface albedo allows determining its role in the heat balance of the active surface. The area of investigations is situated in the NW part of Wedel Jarlsberg Land in the Bellsund region on the Western Spitsbergen. Calypsostranda is the fragment of the regional unit, representing the type of marine coastal plain. Calypsostranda is situated on the forefield of the Scott and Renard Glaciers. It is complex of raised marine terraces with highs 3-100 m. The greatest area is occupied by terraces 20-40 m. a.s.l. Calypsostranda is formed by series of boulder clays, fluvioglacial sands, and gravels as well as by marine sands, gravels and silts. The dominant plant formation on Calypsostranda is dry lichen-moss tundra. The local differentiation of plant cover which exists there is implied by the kind of background and water relations. Lichen tundra is dominated by very dry habitats. When the humidity of ground increases the phyla appear in the water. There were three types of active surfaces, i.e.: land, ice and water, play a significant role in the radiation balance of the Calypsostranda. In the summer of 2001, a substantial variation of albedo occurred on Calypsostranda. The above changes depended to a large extent on the physical properties of the tundra?s surface. High spatial differentiation of albedo was also observed in the studied period (i.e. the summer of 2001). The Iowest values (below 10%) occurred at the lakelet area with dark bottom polluted with eolic material. The highest albedo values (above 20%) were noticed in the patterned grounds and on the beach. The average albedo for the tundra area (for all measurement period) is 15.5% and it was changed from 11% to 21%.
