Abstract
Linear relationships have been found between daytime incoming radiation and both net radiation and reflected radiation over a Spartina alterniflora salt marsh at North Inlet, S.C., during the summer. On the average, using total daytime values, net radiation was 70 ± 9% and reflected radiation was 9 ± 1% of incoming radiation.
