Radiation balance in the tropical Atlantic during the Atlantic Expedition ATEX 1969

This paper presents the components of the radiation balance and the balance itself, which are measured from "Meteor" during ATEX from January 1 to March 2, 1969 in the Atlantic Ocean. For "Planet", also engaged in ATEX, measurements of the global radiation are shown for the period of February 4 to February 28, 1969. From the results obtained by "Meteor" the albedo of the sea surface has been calculated and is presented for two exemplary days.
