Reduced Longwave Absorption of Magnesium Sulfate Aerosol as an Alternative to Sulfuric Acid for Stratospheric Aerosol Injection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Aqueous sulfuric acid is the benchmark sulfate aerosol for stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), but H2SO4 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\text{SO}}_{4}$/H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$O aerosol absorbs strongly in the infrared, producing longwave warming that significantly offsets its shortwave cooling. Here, we evaluate magnesium sulfate (MgSO4 ${\text{MgSO}}_{4}$

Variables Affecting Earth's Albedo

Earth's albedo is the fraction of incoming radiation (sunlight) that is reflected into space. The Earth has an average albedo, which describes how much sunlight is reflected on average for the whole planet and the whole year.

Diminished Radiative Cooling With Northward Wildfire Advance in the East Siberian Boreal Region

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Intensification of the Siberian wildfire regime is characterized by large increases in burned area above the Arctic Circle. Wildfire in boreal forests typically reduces albedo in the decades following fire, resulting in a net cooling effect. Here we quantified changes in albedo and the accompanying radiative forcing associated with a northward

Why April Stands Out: Monthly Impacts of Internal Variability on Arctic Amplification

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Observed Arctic amplification (AA), defined as the ratio of Arctic‐mean to global‐mean surface air temperature (SAT) trends, peaks in April, a feature not captured by climate models. Here, we quantify the impact of internal variability on Arctic‐mean SAT trends in March, April, and May from 1980 to 2022 using multiple approaches, including ...

Bifacial (Ag,Cu)(In,Ga)Se2 Mini‐Modules With Transparent ITiO Back Contacts: Performance Analysis and Effects of RbF Treatment

Solar RRL, Volume 10, Issue 19, 15 October 2026.
Bifacial ACIGS mini‐module prototypes with In2O3:Ti back contacts are fabricated and analyzed. Efficiencies of 13.5% and 10.3% are achieved under front and rear illumination, respectively. High bifaciality factors of up to 76% are enabled by the excellent transparency and conductivity of the thermally stable In2O3:Ti film.
