UV albedo of clouds from TOMS data [PDF]

The Pilot Climate Data System (PCDS) was found to be useful in examining a subset of data from the Nimbus-7 Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS). The TOMS instrument scans with six channels between .3 and .4 micrometers.

Evaluating Atmospheric River Impacts on Energy and Moisture Transport in the Arctic Using Different Detection Algorithms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) significantly impact the Arctic climate system by enhancing atmospheric heat and moisture transport and altering the local energy budget. Developing AR detection tools (ARDTs) is critical yet challenging. This study evaluates 12 ARDTs in the Arctic to assess their performance in representing atmospheric heat ...

Kernel‐Based Estimation of Stratospheric Aerosol Radiative Effects From Volcanic and Wildfire Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract To facilitate the quantification of the stratospheric aerosol direct radiative effect (ARE), this study develops a suite of aerosol kernels based on Modern‐Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 reanalysis data. The kernels comprise a five‐dimensional data set that includes latitude, longitude, time, wavelength ...

An Analytical Model of the Lifecycle of Tropical Anvil Cloud Radiative Effects

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Satellite observations and numerical simulations show that the small net Cloud Radiative Effect (CRE) of tropical anvil clouds results from a near‐cancellation between large but opposing longwave (LW) and shortwave (SW) components over the cloud's lifecycle.

Ice‐Nucleating Particle and Cloud Ice Crystal Concentrations Associated With Developing Summertime Deep Convective Clouds in South‐Western USA

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Ice‐nucleating particles (INPs), essential for initiating primary ice production in many mixed‐phase clouds, have only rarely been measured in air directly relevant for deep convective clouds. In July–August 2022 we used an aircraft to sample aerosol near developing deep convective clouds over Magdalena Mountain, New Mexico, USA.

Skillful Polar WRF Cloud Modeling of a Warm Winter Atmospheric River at the Antarctic Peninsula

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric rivers are episodic events that can advect relatively large quantities of moisture to Antarctica, contributing to both disproportionate precipitation and melting events. The Year of Polar Prediction, an international effort to improve weather prediction over the southern polar region, presents an opportunity to study the clouds and

Origins of Precipitation in the World's Water Towers

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract High‐mountain systems act as the planet's vital water towers, sustaining freshwater supplies for billions of people. Climate change is exacerbating hydrological imbalances in these regions, yet the moisture sources maintaining their precipitation—the primary water input—remain poorly quantified.

Community-driven variations in snow algae color modulate snow albedo reduction. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Snow algae blooms visibly alter snow color and surface energy balance, yet the biological basis of this variability remains unclear. We investigated how pigment composition and community structure shape the optical properties of snow algae blooms of distinct colors – red, orange, and green – co‐occurring within the same snowfield in Glacier ...

Ejecta types on Ganymede and Callisto [PDF]

Ejecta types on Ganymede and Callisto have been identified from Voyager 1 and 2 images. Image resolution used range from approx. 0.6 to approx. 4 km/pxl, which allowed the surveying of almost all of the mappable surface of the two satellites.
