Reflectance spectra of laboratory clathrate hydrates of methane, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide were taken for the purpose of determining the feasibility of detecting clathrate hydrates with remote sensing. The spectrum of a clathrate with weak guest bands only in the 1.4 or 1.9 micron region, or having bands only in the 2.5 to 7 micron region, is not distinguishable from the spectrum of a pure water frost. The broadband shape of clathrate reflectance spectra always resembles the broadband shape of pure H2O frost. Planetary implications are that only some clathrate hydrates can be detected by remote spectroscopic sensing, and that the broadband H2O frost features must appear in a planetary reflectance spectrum if a clathrate hydrate is on the planetary surface.
