Carns, R. C., B. Light, and S. G. Warren (2016), The spectral albedo of sea ice and salt crusts on the tropical ocean of Snowball Earth: II. Optical modeling, J. Geophys. Res. Oceans, 121, 5217–5230, doi:10.1002/2016JC011804. Figure 4. Sensitivity of the method to different assumptions about grain size and crust thickness. Assuming large grains (12 lm) and 2 mm crust gives the lower bound on mim,; assuming small grains (7 lm) and semi-infinite crust (10 m) gives an upper bound. Shown are (a) the variation in inferred values of mim based on different grain size assumptions and (b) the variation in albedo output by the model using identical conditions (semi-infinite crust and 7 lm hydrohalite spheres) but varying the mim values by the same amount shown in Fig- ure 4a. The imaginary refractive index at wavelengths shorter than 900 nm is represented by a dashed line due to the larger uncertainty in this region. The true value is likely much lower.
