Albedo 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.
