Short summary
The albedo of refreezing melt pond is observed and effect of multiple factors on it is studied. The refreezing melt ponds are categorized into 5 types according to surface state that dominates albedo. Based on it, we found that ratio between albedo in certain bands can be used to distinguish snow-covered pond from unponded ice. Besides, properties such as pond depth and ice lid have various effect on different types of ponds, which is also examined using in-situ data and modelling.
