Some of 3-year work results of the radiometer IKOR-M which was installed on «Meteor-M» No1 satellite are reported. The results of calculations of the albedo are given for arrays: the World’s ocean, land, World’s ocean united with land. Evaluation of the interconnection of zonal latitudinal distribution albedo with zonal distribution of cloudiness is given. The contribution of cloudiness to albedo on top of the atmosphere was evaluated and reported. The brief results of analysis of space-time albedo’s distributions for three oceans are given in the latitudinal boundaries ± 60°.
Keywords: радиометр, альбедо, широтные распределения альбедо, широтные распределения облачности, radiometer, albedo, the latitudinal distribution of albedo, the latitudinal distribution of cloudiness
