Remote Sensing Sediment–Albedo Feedbacks Affecting Ice Thickness on Taylor Valley Lakes, Antarctica

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract The McMurdo Dry Valleys are the largest unglaciated region in Antarctica and home to perennially frozen lakes. Thirty years of ice thickness measurements reveal meter‐scale fluctuations over decadal time scales. In this paper, we hypothesize that changing surface sediment dynamics alter ice albedo, changing the heat balance and thickness of ...

Drying Soil Moisture Dominates Enhancing Summer Soil Moisture‐Temperature Coupling Under Climate Change

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Global warming enhances soil moisture (SM)‐temperature (SM‐T) coupling, exacerbating extreme climates. However, the mechanisms and future trends of this enhancement remain inadequately understood. Analysis of multiple reanalysis data sets shows that during summer seasons of 1981–2020, approximately 45.6% of global lands exhibit a significant ...

The Role of Near Solstice Solar Radiation on the Pacific Northwest Heatwave of June 2021

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract In late June 2021, the Pacific Northwest experienced a severe heatwave, shattering temperature records and making worldwide news. The extreme temperatures have been attributed to an anomalously strong atmospheric block, high moisture content of upstream air, and dry soils.

Apparent Global Increase in Cloud Droplet Number Concentration After 2022 Attributed to MODIS Orbital Drift

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract A long‐term, consistent satellite record of cloud droplet number concentration (Nd) is essential for understanding aerosol‐cloud interactions and their climate effects. However, the Aqua MODIS‐retrieved Nd exhibits an unexpected and substantial increase over the near‐global oceans after 2022, contradicting the expected decline from continued ...

What Factors Explain the Current Arctic Albedo and Its Future Change?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract The Arctic has experienced rapid sea ice loss and a substantial surface albedo decline, altering its radiation budget. CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6) models capture these trends but show considerable inter‐model spread in the magnitude, distribution, and seasonality of Arctic surface albedo.
