Can anybody here gives me some suggestions as to the best way to calculate and map Albedo effect.  Those of you don't know what it is, Albedo specifies the percentage of incoming solar radiation on a surface that reflects back. I need help. Thanks, folks.

Sure, Dan, I think I can then say that, the Albedo level is low in those cells, in the sense that the snow Level (Snowdpypt Rec) is low (1) despite the fact that the Radiation (MRadiation= 4) Level is on the high side; Am I correct?

Given a tabular form in the results that I have shown.  You now have data that could be used in a Chi Squared test to see if there is an association/difference between the two variables...that is what cross-tabulated statistics can be used for... stretching the idea that cell counts are treated as counts and not area

Great! THE CHI-SQUARE STATISTIC IS 9442.9004. THE P-VALUE IS < 0.00001. THE RESULTS IS
SIGNIFICANT AT P< .05.
