The results of measurements of net total radiation flux and tempera- tures in the air and surface layers of the tundra and snow near Barrow, Alaska, are presented for the period September 1965 to September 1966. Lowest average monthly temperatures occurred in March, the highest in July. The minimum aver- age net total radiation occurred in January with the maximum in July. The tundra surface began to thaw by 18 June and to freeze by September.
