A preliminary map of summer albedo over England and Wales

AbstractAlbedo data are presented from ground and airborne measurements over different types of cover in Southern England. Summer values show a range of at least 10 per cent (15 per cent for heath, 16 to 18 for woodland and built‐up areas and 24 to 25 per cent for green cereals and grass). These and published albedos are used to prepare a map of summer albedo over the country based on the vegetation maps in The Atlas of Britain.

The Atlas of Britain and Northern Ireland

A National Atlas of Britain

WTITHIN a few days of the appearance in NATURE of an article upon the proposed National Atlas1, an afternoon meeting of the Royal Geographical Society devoted to a discussion of the project was opened by the present writer as chairman of the National Atlas Committee. A verbatim report of the proceedings appears in the current (February) number of the Geographical Journal, but since the discussion has already borne practical fruit, and since further arguments for pressing forward with the Atlas have been provided by public events, it appears that a useful purpose will be served by examining the points upon which agreement has been reached.
