On the Timescales of Atmospheric Adjustments to Contrail Cirrus Formation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Condensation trails (contrails) that evolve into contrail cirrus may constitute the largest contribution to aviation's climate impact. However the strength and timescales of the adjustments of the upper atmospheric water budget to contrail formation are poorly known. Thanks to multiple simulations with the ICOLMDZ climate model, the relatively

Characterization and Meteorological Drivers of Dust Events Over California's Central Valley

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Dust events in California's Central Valley pose severe risks to public health, regional air quality, and transportation. Yet, the climatology and meteorological drivers of dust events in the region are poorly characterized due to sparse monitoring and limitations of satellite observations.

Impacts of Simulated Deforestation on Meteorology and Primary Productivity in Appalachian Deciduous Forests Using WRF With Noah‐MP

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Changes in land cover can impact local and synoptic meteorology, and subsequently, ecological processes. Using a coupled atmosphere and land surface model (WRF and Noah‐MP), we quantified how simulated deforestation events of varying extent (approximately 4,000–18,000 km2 ${\text{km}}^{2}$), continuity, and orientation, impact meteorology and ...

MAIAC Aerosol Algorithm Over Water

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract MAIAC VIIRS Collection 2 aerosol product for the first time provides global coverage over land and ocean. This paper gives a first systematic description of MAIAC ocean aerosol algorithm covering cases of open ocean, waters with sediments and brown waters from rivers' discharge.

Clouds form preferentially over native vegetation [PDF]

, 2002
The replacement of native vegetation for agriculture leads to significant changes in land surface characteristics, such as albedo, surface roughness and canopy resistance. These land surface changes induce changes in the atmospheric boundary layer. It is

Land‐Atmosphere Coupling Contributing to Anomalous Rainfall Before the Onset of Australian Monsoon

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract This study applies idealized climate model simulations to investigate the influence of a continent‐sized ponded surface of limited heat capacity on the regional and remote atmospheric state. The analysis focuses on the wet season in northern Australia where precipitation provides critical water resources for agriculture and inland ecosystems ...

A Causal Examination of the Solar Influence on Holocene Climate

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Variations in Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) have long been hypothesized to influence global mean surface temperature (GMST) on multidecadal to millennial timescales, but empirical evidence has remained elusive. Here, we explore the link between solar variability and climate over the pre‐industrial Holocene, when anthropogenic influences were ...

Intra-annual variability of satellite observed surface albedo associated with typical land cover types in China

, 2015
Surface albedo is a primary causative variable associated with the process of surface energy exchange. Numerous studies have examined diurnal variation of surface albedo at a regional scale; however, few studies have analyzed the intra-annual variations ...

Thermodynamic Control of Global Seasonal Snow Decline

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Seasonal snowfall is declining globally, yet the relative roles of precipitation variability versus warming‐induced phase transitions remain poorly quantified. We develop a physically based attribution framework that decomposes snowfall trends (1983–2023) into hydrological (precipitation‐driven) and thermodynamic (phase‐driven) components ...
