Incident surface shortwave radiation (ISR) is a key parameter in Earth’s surface radiation budget. Many reanalysis and satellite-based ISR products have been developed, but they often have insufficient accuracy and resolution for many applications.

Solar Radiation Transfer Through a Subarctic Shrub Canopy [PDF]
Much of the low Arctic is covered with shrubs that are partially buried by snow in winter and become exposed during melt. This study presents measurements and modeling of shortwave radiation reflection and extinction by a deciduous shrub canopy emerging ...

Surface Radiation Budget and Surface Albedo Characteristics in Eastern Pamir Plateau
The surface radiation data observed from June 2020 to June 2021 at the Tashkurgan National Basic Climate Station on the Eastern Pamir Plateau were used to analyze the variations of radiation components and surface albedo in various time scales and ...

Shortwave radiation parameterization scheme for subgrid topography [PDF]
Topography is well known to alter the shortwave radiation balance at the surface. A detailed radiation balance is therefore required in mountainous terrain. In order to maintain the computational performance of large‐scale models while at the same time increasing grid resolutions, subgrid parameterizations are gaining more importance.

A grid-based model of backwasting of supraglacial ice cliffs on debris-covered glaciers
Ice cliffs might be partly responsible for the high mass losses of debris-covered glaciers in the Hindu Kush-Karakoram-Himalaya region. The few existing models of cliff backwasting are point-scale models applied at few locations or assume cliffs to be ...

Modelling the development and decay of cryoconite holes in northwestern Greenland [PDF]
Cryoconite holes (CHs) are water-filled cylindrical holes with cryoconite (dark-coloured sediment) deposited at their bottoms, forming on ablating ice surfaces of glaciers and ice sheets worldwide.

Thin liquid water clouds: their importance and our challenge [PDF]
Many clouds important to the Earth’s energy balance contain small amounts of liquid water, yet despite many improvements, large differences in retrievals of their liquid water amount and particle size still must be ...
