Fig. 2. Snow algae reflectance factors.

Hemispherical directional reflectance factors (HDRFs) of green snow algae, showing representative spectra from high (solid, green line) and low (dashed, green line) cell density patches of snow algae with corresponding IB4, sampling site photograph and brightfield microscope image (black scale bar represents 5 μm). HDRFs, photographs and microscopy from snow sampled close to Refugio Collins, King George Island, Antarctica.
