During the summer months of 1961, measurements of the albedo of sub-Arctic surfaces in the Labrador-Ungava peninsula were undertaken. From chartered aircraft the parameter was measured over the major vegetarian cover-types previously studied and classified by a group of McGill workers. Ground measurements of albedo were also undertaken. A description of the instrumentation and its problems is presented in Chapter II. In Chapter III the flight coverage of the peninsula in relation to the vegetation cover-types is discussed. Chapter IV discusses the representative values of albedo together with the phenomenon of different albedo values under direct or diffuse solar radiation.
