18. In terms of the factors responsible for the differences in brightness of features on visible images, what accounts for the differences? 3. Based on the pair of visible images, which generally seems to have a higher albedo, snow-free land surfaces or ocean surfaces? How can you tell? 20. Are there some cases where snow-free land and ocean surfaces seem to have similar albedos? If so, where, and what does the land surface most likely consist of in such cases? 21. Based on the pair of IR images, what generally appears darker on IR images, land surfaces or ocean surfaces? Was this easy to tell in general? Why or why not?

18. In terms of the factors responsible for the differeoces in briehtness of features on visible images, accounts for the differences? 13. Based on the pair of visible images, which generally seems to have a higher albedo, snow-free land surfaces or ocean surfaces? How can you tell? 20. Are there some cases where snow-free land and ocean surfaces seem to have similar albedos? If so, where, and what does the land surface most likely consist of in such cases? 21. Based on the pair of IR images, what generally appears darker on IR images, land surfaces or ocean surfaces? Was this easy to tell in general? Why or why not? 22. The pair of IR images for this question were recorded 8 hours apart. Note (a) the brightness of the land surfaces in each image and (b) the brightness of the ocean surfaces in each image. What differences do you see in the brightness of land surfaces between the two images? What accounts for the difference? 23. What difference do you see in the brightness of ocean surfaces between the two images? Why is this behavior different from the behavior of the land surfaces that you observed? 24. On the IR image recorded at 14Z, which of the five areas identified on the map appear brightest? Which appear darkest? Which appear roughly the same as each other?
