Solar radiative transfer in Antarctic blue ice: spectral considerations, subsurface enhancement, inclusions, and meteorites

<p>We describe and validate a Monte Carlo model to track photons over the full range of solar wavelengths as they travel into optically thick Antarctic blue ice. The model considers both reflection and transmission of radiation at the surface of blue ice, scattering by air bubbles within it, a...
