Modeling glacier‐surface albedo across Svalbard for the 1979–2015 period: The HiRSvaC500‐α data set
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2017 Albedo is an important quantity for determining the energy balance of snow and ice surfaces and thus also for the mass balance of glaciers. It is especially important in polar regions where shortwave radiation fluxes typically provide most of the energy ...

Atmosphere, 2017 Tower-based data combined with high-resolution satellite products have been used to produce surface albedo at various spatial scales over land. Because tower-based albedo data are available at only a few sites, surface albedos using these combined data ...

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

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 ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Grapevine production is increasingly challenged by global warming, with global wine output falling to a six‐decade low in 2024. At the same time, the vine and wine sector faces growing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Agrivoltaics, which integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) modules into plant production systems, offers a potential pathway to ...

Hybrid physics–data‐driven modeling for sea ice thermodynamics and transfer learning
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Icepack–NN, a machine‐learning‐based hybrid version of the sea‐ice column model Icepack, is developed to correct state‐dependent forecast errors arising from misspecified snow thermodynamics, using neural networks applied online within the physical model.

The Albedo of Pervious Cement Concrete Linearly Decreases with Porosity
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2015 Pervious pavements have been advocated as a potential countermeasure to the urban heat island effect. To understand if pervious pavements stay cooler than conventional pavements, the albedo of the pervious concrete must be understood. This study measured

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We document for the first time how the assimilation of CS2SMOS observations improves the model representation of Arctic sea‐ice thickness (SIT) and its variability: biases are reduced (top row), while excessive variability in the Beaufort Sea and lack of variability in the ice pack are both corrected (bottom row).
