The anisotropic factors of quasi three dimensionally modeled areas in the Alps are calculated for two wavelengths in the solar spectral region. For small snow cover, absorptance and radiation budgets are approximated using simple assumptions for the reflectance function of the area's elements. When the snow cover is increased large errors can arise if reflectance anisotropy of the snow fields is not considered adequately. With Meteosat measurements, anisotropic factors are needed that take the effect into consideration. In contrast, fairly accurate absorptances are obtained with the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data if evaluations are restricted to midday overpasses and positions of the area in the region of nadir +/-273 km.
