Sensitivity of mountain glacier mass balance to changes in bare-ice albedo
Annals of Glaciology, 2017 Albedo is an important parameter in the energy balance of bare-ice surfaces and modulates glacier melt rates. The prolongation of the ablation period enforces the albedo feedback and highlights the need for profound knowledge on impacts of bare-ice ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The existence of permafrost was explored at tropical latitude on Nevado Coropuna (southern Peruvian Andes) using a combination of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and vertical electrical sounding (VES) in order to strengthen the mutual validation of data processing and interpretation.

Measurements of spectral snow albedo at Neumayer, Antarctica [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2006 Spectral albedo in high resolution, from 290 to 1050 nm, has been measured at Neumayer, Antarctica, (70°39' S, 8°15' W) during the austral summer 2003/2004.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

How well do the regional atmospheric and oceanic models describe the Antarctic sea ice albedo? [PDF]
The CryosphereWe assessed how well regional climate models (HCLIM, MAR, RACMO), ocean models (MetROMS-UHel, NEMO), and ERA5 reanalysis simulate Antarctic sea ice albedo, snow, and ice thickness, using in situ data from field campaigns (ISPOL, Weddell Sea, in December ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change and the growing demand for renewable energy are putting increasing pressure on land, as food production and solar power generation often compete for the same areas. In this study, we assessed which temperate‐region crops are best suited for agrivoltaics, a technology combining farming and solar electricity production on the same land. We

Microphysics and interactions of aerosols and fog on the northwest Atlantic Ocean
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.In the Grand Banks, aerosol size distributions were bimodal, aerosol and fog droplet concentrations were low, and fogs were shorter (<12 hours). In contrast, near Sable Island, aerosol size distributions had a single broad mode that was likely influenced by continental emissions, corresponding with higher aerosol and droplet concentrations as well as ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We document the protocol and first results from the first ever coordinated multimodel variable‐resolution experiment set with refinement over the polar regions. We find that the refinement generally yields model‐dependent effects. The most consistent improvement is an amelioration of the upper‐level cold bias in the polar regions that translates into ...
