Major Melting Event on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, Connected With Enhanced Atmospheric Turbulence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) in West Antarctica experienced extensive surface melting in January 2016, driven by warm humid air transported from over the Southern Ocean. Few studies have reported increased atmospheric water vapor and turbulent mixing during this event in this region, where the availability of surface measurements is challenging ...

Surface Observations From Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Sites Constrain the Anthropogenic Contribution to Cloud Droplet Number

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Uncertainty in anthropogenic forcing driven by aerosol‐cloud interactions (aci) limits our ability to infer the sensitivity of the Earth system to forcing from historical records. The driver of aci is the change in cloud droplet number concentration (Nd) due to changes in aerosol serving as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).

Convective Biases in the US DOE Global Storm‐Resolving Model: Insights From Regionally Refined Simulations During the CACTI Campaign

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Accurately simulating convective processes in complex terrain remains a critical challenge for global storm‐resolving models (GSRMs). This study systematically evaluates moist convective biases in the Regionally Refined Mesh configuration of the U.S.

Validation of Soil Temperature Sensing Depth Estimates Using High-Temporal Resolution Data from NEON and SMAP Missions

Remote Sensing
Passive microwave remote sensing of soil moisture is crucial for monitoring the Earth’s water cycle and surface dynamics. The penetration depth during this process is significant, as it influences the accuracy of retrieved soil moisture data.

Remote sensing of Antarctic clouds with infrared and passive microwave sensors

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2002
The importance of the polar regions and of clouds for the global climate is widely recognized. But clouds in polar regions are difficult to detect in infrared satellite images because the brightness temperatures of the surface and clouds are very similar.

Evaluation of SMAP Freeze/Thaw Retrieval Accuracy at Core Validation Sites in the Contiguous United States [PDF]

, 2018
Seasonal freeze-thaw (FT) impacts much of the northern hemisphere and is an important control on its water, energy, and carbon cycle. Although FT in natural environments extends south of 45°N, FT studies using the L-band have so far been restricted to ...
