Impact Craters Reveal a Deeper Rock‐Poor Regolith in the Lunar Highlands

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract The only measurements of the highlands regolith occurred at the Apollo 14 and 16 landing sites, finding 10–15 m thick regolith; however, we show that the Apollo landing sites are anomalous due to their proximity to rare, highlands rocky craters and because they landed atop basin ejecta. Through observations of rocky crater populations, we show

Role of Shortwave Feedback in Non‐Linear Response to CO2 Forcing in GFDL CM4.0

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Effective climate sensitivity (EffCS) is a key metric for quantifying climate change, yet its uncertainty remains large, primarily due to intermodel differences in cloud feedback. Here, we assess EffCS and climate feedback to an abrupt doubling (2xCO2) and quadrupling (4xCO2) of CO2 over 450 years in GFDL CM4.0. Both runs have comparable EffCS

Using MODIS BRDF/Albedo Data to Evaluate and Improve Land Surface Albedo in Weather and Climate Models

, 2005
Land surface albedo plays a key role in the surface-atmosphere internaction, because it greatly influences the shortwave radiation absorbed by the surface. Surface albedo depends on soil characteristics and vegetation types. Error in the specification of

Glacier‐Climate Feedbacks Modulate Last Glacial Maximum Dust Cycle Over the Third Pole

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Geological records indicate only a modest Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) increase in dust deposition over the Third Pole (TP), in contrast to the order‐of‐magnitude rise at high latitudes. Existing climate simulations, which generally prescribe present‐day or no TP glaciers, have struggled to reproduce this muted response.

Retrieval of land surface reflectance and albedo from MERIS data

, 2016
An atmospheric correction algorithm for the retrieval of land surface reflectance from the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) data has been implemented. The algorithm is designed to obtain the main atmospheric parameters needed in the correction from the image itself, leading to an optimal characterization of the atmospheric state, in ...

Does Polar Warming Asymmetry Exist in Bathy‐Planet Experiments?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Ocean bathymetry and continental geometry shape ocean circulation, but whether these geographic constraints can sustain polar warming asymmetry in a fully coupled climate system remains unclear. Here we construct a fully coupled “bathy‐planet” configuration (BATHY), in which continental topography is removed and most land surfaces are replaced

Dust Pollution Mitigation by Solar Farm Deployment in Northern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Dust storms pose a growing threat to air quality and public health across northern China. As part of the carbon‐neutrality and clean‐air strategy, China is rapidly expanding solar farms, particularly in desert regions, yet their potential to mitigate dust pollution and improve downwind air quality remains poorly understood. Here, we develop an
